Kevin Durant on Suns' effort after getting blown out by Timberwolves: 'We embarrassed ourselves'

The Phoenix Suns didn't play like a team fighting for its postseason life on Sunday night, losing 116-98 at home to the Minnesota Timberwolves.

Phoenix managed only 17 points in the second quarter and was outscored 66-47 in the second half, an effort that Kevin Durant said was far below the standard at which the Suns should be playing.

"We embarrassed the fans and we embarrassed ourselves the way we played," Durant said afterward, via the Associated Press. "I want us to be better.”

Durant led the Suns with 26 points and 10 rebounds, followed by Bradley Beal's 18 points.
