Sometimes, you have a team’s number and there’s nothing they can do about it.
Enter the Minnesota Timberwolves and the Phoenix Suns; with a Wolves eighth straight win against Phoenix on Friday continuing to cement that reality.
Outside of an early first-quarter two-point lead, the Wolves would go on to dominate and make it lopsided for the rest of the game.
Challenged by head coach Chris Finch after Monday’s blowout loss in Indianapolis to increase their physicality, Minnesota did that and more on Friday. They blocked multiple shots from Kevin Durant, forced turnovers, played for contact in the paint, and held Devin Bookers scoreless until the 3:33 mark in the third quarter.
