What to Know
The Timberwolves have enjoyed a four-game homestand but will soon have to dust off their road jerseys. On Friday, they will fight it out against the Phoenix Suns in a Western Conference playoff matchup at 10:30 p.m. ET at Footprint Center. The Timberwolves’ defense has only allowed 106.2 points per game this season, so the Suns’ offense will have their work cut out for them.
The Timberwolves will bounce into Friday’s contest after (finally) beating the Suns, who they hadn’t topped in nine consecutive meetings. The Timberwolves came out on top against the Suns by a score of 105-93 on Tuesday.
Multiple players turned in solid performances to lead the Timberwolves to victory, but perhaps none more so than Jaden McDaniels, who scored 25 points along with eight rebounds. The team also got some help courtesy of Rudy Gobert, who almost dropped a double-double on 18 points and nine rebounds.
The Timberwolves are winning the series right now, leading the Suns 2-0. Check CBS Sports after the game to find out if the Timberwolves extend their lead or if the Suns can claw their way back.
