Phoenix has guarded against this all season, yet it continues to happen.
One of the NBA's best teams, the Suns once again lost to one of the worst.
This time, the worst.
Karl-Anthony Towns and Anthony Edwards combined for 83 points in leading the lowly Timberwolves to a 123-119 stunner Thursday night at Phoenix Suns Arena.
"I did not have our guys ready to play tonight," Suns coach Monty Williams said. "Mentally, schematically, in every area, I did not have us ready to play. That's squarely on me. When two guys can go for 83 points, I did not make the adjustments against those guys to give us a chance to be at our best, but it boils down to not having our team ready to play and that's squarely on me.
