Minnesota Timberwolves dominated by Phoenix Suns to set up first round playoff matchup
The Minnesota Timberwolves put up very little resistance in a regular-season finale loss to the Phoenix Suns, setting up a first-round playoff matchup between the same two teams. Ben Beecken (@bbeecken) breaks down the loss, including the Wolves’ unbelievable sloppiness with the ball in the first half and rebounding issues in the second half. Plus, the Suns’ hot shooting and how much of their success is attributable to the Wolves’ defensive lapses versus Phoenix’s shot-makers. What can we glean from the Suns’ season series sweep over the Wolves as we look ahead to the playoff matchup?

It’s gonna be a tough one i think our only shot is if KAT comes off the bench. We matchup against Durant and Booker well but we need someone for Beal and Conley hasn’t been doing great on him so If Conley is on Allen KAT can’t guard Beal so I say start NAW over KAT
NO SHOW ANT and calamity KAT reverted to "selfish ball" and turned it over 9 times in the first half between the two of them.
ANT just doesn't show up at select games. you know…for a guy making $3 million a month i expect effort. every game. not select games. every game. NO SHOW ANT is pathetic…
and calamity KAT? thick skulled. stubborn. lack of self awareness. keeps barreling into trouble, time and time again. he's a lost cause. move him in the off season…
HE JUST DOSEN'T GET IT AND NEVER WILL
as to those suggesting Finchy's rotation was the problem?
after 9 minutes they were down by 15….with the starters in
HOW IS THAT A ROTATION PROBLEM??
slow starts are due to starters.
Wolves terrible on offense and defense, 30 turnovers. I don't think that will happen again
We need more NAW and Jaden minutes together when KD and Beal are in so they can give them a hard time. Ant on Booker…
The suns were flopping fooling the refs.
Nervous for the series but if they can pull it off the confidence will be insane heading to round 2.
I like our coach but I don’t know what got into his head to put Kat on Allan that was not smart
