The Timberwolves won Game 1 of their first-round playoff series 120-95, holding the Suns well under their scoring average of 116.2 points per game.
In Game 2, the Suns would be the more desperate team, and would have seen the Wolves' best defensive plan against their three star scorers, Kevin Durant, Devin Booker and Bradley Beal.
What we saw in the first seven Suns possessions was a smothering defensive effort from the Wolves that led to a 105-93 victory.
The Wolves harassed the Suns near the midcourt line, fought through screens, played intuitive help defense, sprinted to contest shots, allowed the Suns zero offensive rebounds and committed zero fouls.
