Suns executed well out of Booker doubles, but left a few wide-open 3s on the table. Ant heating up is less than ideal - 5:19 PM
Suns have definitively been the better team so far but Randle and Edwards both got hot in the 3rd to make this a game. - 5:18 PM
Randle 3. Suns lead down to six. #Suns - 5:06 PM

Incredible put-back dunk from Josh Okogie, but Julius Randle drills a 3 at the buzzer to make it a 10-point game. Rude shot. - 4:40 PM
Okogie one-handed follow dunk. Has six off the bench.
Randle running 3 at buzzer to end half.
Suns up 10. Booker 27 points on 9-of-14 shooting (4-of-7 on 3s) #Suns - 4:40 PM

The Timberwolves' former Knicks are killing the Suns so far. Julius Randle and Donte DiVincenzo have 25 of Minnesota's 38 points and the Wolves are on a 16-4 run - 4:23 PM

Minnesota is all over the place with this. Trapped Jones to leave Booker open and Randle off the ball defending the second big is treating them like a traditional wing. - 3:55 PM
Booker screen, open 3 as McDaniels helped on trap.
Suns up 15-7.
Booker step back 3 in transition, Booker stayed on floor for minute grabbing at right ankle.
Play under review as he landed on Randle's foot. Got up and walked to the bench. #Suns - 3:53 PM

You've gotta be kidding. Devin Booker lands on Julius Randle's foot on a pull-up 3 and is wincing getting up. He has 8 points in the first 5 minutes and will be heading to the FT line for 3 more. Hopefully he's all right - 3:53 PM
More on this storyline
“We got the answers. The coaches give us … the answers,” Edwards said. “We just not doing it as a team, one through 15. They give us the answers every night. We come in here at 35 [minutes] on the night, and they tell us what we need to do to win the game, and somehow we don’t do it every night. We got to get back to it. We got to mature, man.” When asked if these issues could be ironed out in practice or film sessions, Randle said those things have been tried. It’s up to the players to make a “personal decision” to improve. “We talk about it and we drill it every single day,” Randle said. “It’s on us as players. We got to take responsibility, look ourselves in the mirror. We got to fix this. When we decide we gonna do that on a consistent basis, we’ll win games.” -via Minneapolis Star-Tribune / November 14, 2024
