The Phoenix Suns (4-6) rode a monster offensive half in the return of Devin Booker to a 76-54 lead over the Minnesota Timberwolves (8-2) at halftime.
In what was supposed to be the debut of the Big 3 for the Suns, Bradley Beal was a late scratch for Phoenix due to his low back spasms, which have lingered throughout the year.
However, Booker still made his return from a calf strain after missing the last five games. Phoenix elected to start Gordon, Allen, Durant and Nurkiu0107 alongside Booker to give them more spacing offensively.
Phoenix entered this game having dropped two straight and being the worst fourth quarter team in the league.
