Timberwolves can help themselves on defense vs. Phoenix by playing better offensively

Since the Suns put the capstone on their seasonlong shellacking of the Timberwolves with a 125-106 victory Sunday at Target Center, there has been plenty of time for fans, players and coaches to roll around the matchup in their heads.

Among the points of discussion: Does Phoenix present an unsolvable matchup defensively for the Wolves? Does the combination of Kevin Durant, Bradley Beal and Devin Booker create problems in a way that nobody else was able to against the league's No. 1 defense?

Before delving into that issue, the Wolves can do themselves a favor on the defensive end of the floor — namely, play better offensively.
