Time: 7:00 pm AZ (7:00 pm PT/10:00 pm ET)
Place: Footprint Center, Phoenix, AZ
TV: AZ Family 3TV, NBATV
Big game Friday night in Phoenix. The Timberwolves have been on a hot streak as of late winning 9 of their last 11 and are atop the Western Conference. Meanwhile Devin Booker is currently on one. He is 32 of 53 from the field, including 13 of 25 from 3-point range, over the past two games. He scored 52 and 40 in those games. Does he come back to earth and score in the 30s tonight? Grayson Allen is probable but Nurkic is questionable (left calf soreness.)

It's probably fine if Nurk sits this one out, since he really struggles against Gobert. This will be a tough one but we've been playing really well the past few games. More than the W itself I just want to see good basketball, crisp passing, passing at all, actually rotating on defense, closing out on 3-point shooters, those sorts of things.

Just tell Nurk he’s not shooting in this one. Just go crash the glass.

And if he does shoot, only dunks are allowed.

I hope we can sustain a win tonight. (Especially in the 4th quarter.)

Naz Reid has been hot. Gotta guard him on the perimeter.
Go Suns.

Have not liked the lineup to start this 4th…offense has been Nurkic trying to score on Rudy

This bench crew was real bad to finish the game…killing our 4th Q point differential

We shot 43% from the field including a 3-13 stinker from Book and won by holding Minnesota to a season low. Are we back?

Gonna go out on a limb and say that Young-Okogie-Little-Azubuike-Thomas is not a lineup that’s going to see meaningful minutes in the playoffs.
