After Action Report

The Suns ran roughshod over the Timberwolves 118-91. Suns torched the Timberwolves on the offensive end. Suns' old heads steadied the ship in the swings; the Timberwolves are in a full-on tailspin. The Suns locker room is humming, and it showed. The Timberwolves rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. It was over by halftime.

What tipped it

  • Suns · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Timberwolves · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
  • Timberwolves · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
