This was a battle of two of the league’s best defenses so far this season — Minnesota Timberwolves are ranked 6th while the Phoenix Suns are 4th — as neither team could get many open shots.
The Suns built an 11-point lead heading into the 4th quarter, but then the Wolves — with three starters back against an all-bench unit of the Suns — cut the Suns lead to two on a flurry of scores, 87-85 with 8:35 left.
Back come the Suns starters, who went on a quick 5-0 run - including Cam’s 6th three-point make in 10 tries — to the delight of the crowd and to give the Suns back from breathing room.
