Minnesota came in trying to break a four-game losing streak, while the Suns just want to get healthy at home.
Oh, and the Suns had a recently-dumped-by-Minny Dario Saric that has been feeling pretty good lately — nearly averaging a double-double for the past five games — and he stepped it up even further in this one.
Saric made 6 of his first 7 shots for 16 points and pulled down 8 rebounds while spending an unexpected amount of the night checking Karl-Anthony Towns.
By the fourth quarter, the Suns were surging with confidence while the Wolves slumped their shoulders on close calls.
