In a rare low-scoring NBA clash, the Phoenix Suns ground out a 97-87 victory over the Minnesota Timberwolves on Friday, proving defense still wins games . With both teams failing to crack 100 points, the Suns’ starting lineup delivered a balanced effort, led by two 20+ point scorers, while Minnesota’s offense sputtered.
Anthony Edwards, the Timberwolves’ top scorer, managed just 17 points on 19 shots – a stat line that’ll have fantasy basketball managers tearing their hair out . Phoenix’s defensive scheme, orchestrated by coach Frank Vogel, effectively trapped Edwards, forcing 4 turnovers and limiting his playmaking.
This win solidifies Phoenix’s playoff positioning , keeping them one game ahead of the Pelicans in the tight Western Conference race. With five games left, can they maintain this momentum? Stay tuned!
