On a night when Hollywood honored its finest performances, the Suns delivered another all-too-familiar sequel. One nobody asked for, yet everyone saw coming. For the third time this season, they faced the Timberwolves. For the third time, they lost. And like clockwork, it followed the same tired script.
They came out strong, as they always do. Entering the game, they were a +39 in first halves this season. True to form, they led by two at the break. But second halves? That’s where this team goes from contender to catastrophe. A staggering -156 in second-half scoring before tonight.
