PHOENIX – When owner Glen Taylor fired former coach Tom Thibodeau, he cited a number of losses the Timberwolves suffered under Thibodeau that Taylor felt the Wolves should have won. One of those was a loss the Wolves had to the lowly Suns in December.
If interim coach Ryan Saunders is going to remove the interim tag, he likely has to win against teams like the Suns.
For the second time in as many games, the Wolves did that in a 118-91 victory at Talking Stick Resort Arena that featured an unusual altercation between Gorgui Dieng and Devin Booker that resulted in ejections for both.
