If you missed yesterday’s Phoenix Suns vs. Minnesota Timberwolves game, count yourself fortunate. It served as a stark reminder that no matter how well a team performs, the outcome can ultimately hinge on how the officials perceive critical moments. The golden rule of basketball is never let the game rest in the hands of the referees. Unfortunately for the Suns, that’s exactly where they found themselves on Sunday.
