Bradley Beal said he would be damned if he would be swept out of an NBA playoff series. With the Phoenix Suns seemingly out of hope, it seems the path is now inevitable.
Beal and others were expected to lift the Suns out of the basketball hell they have been in for 55 years without an NBA championship. Phoenix instead suffered an embarrassing home defeat, 125-109, for the third straight season in Game 3 of its first-round series as the No. 6 seed against a third-seed Minnesota Timberwolves for the that left thirsting basketball fans humiliated and depleted even more than they were before.
