PHOENIX – The Suns became the second team to beat the Timberwolves two times this season by double digits with their 97-87 victory over the Wolves on Friday night in a game that wasn't nearly as close as the final made it seem.
The Suns joined the Pelicans as the only team to accomplish that this season. The Wolves beat the Pelicans twice when Zion Williamson didn't play. When Williamson did play, New Orleans won easily each time.
This is the time of the season when fans, coaches and players alike start doing a little projecting when they look at the standings.
