The postseason begins in just two short days. The Phoenix Suns, after defeating the Minnesota Timberwolves in game 82 of the season, were rewarded with a week's worth of rest prior to the start of their playoff run. It is a familiar foe that they will face, as Phoenix played Minnesota twice in the final nine days of the regular season. The result? The Suns went to 2-0 and completed a regular season series sweep of the Timberwolves.
In that week off, both teams were certainly strategizing and analyzing their method of attack against a familiar opponent.
