Minnesota Timberwolves’ defence shuts down Phoenix Suns in 105-93 win to grab 2-0 lead in first-round series
Rudy Gobert of the Minnesota Timberwolves reacts during action against the Phoenix Suns in the second quarter of Game 2 of the Western Conference First Round Playoffs at Target Center. The Timberwolves won 105-93 on April 23, 2024, in Minneapolis.
Devin Booker scored 20 points, Kevin Durant added 18 and sixth man Eric Gordon had 15 for the Suns, who again failed to get their high-octane offence in gear. The big three of Booker, Durant and Bradley Beal combined to shoot 18 for 45, with McDaniels leading the list of reasons for the slump. Conley found Gobert with a bounce pass off the pick-and-roll for an easy slam and an 84-76 lead the Wolves later extended to 19 points, before the 17-year veteran point guard swished a corner 3-pointer that electrified the arena. The “Wolves in 4!” chant popped up in the final minutes.
The Timberwolves had trouble making them pay, shooting 9 for 32 from 3-point range. The bench production that helped them dominate the opener waned. The whistles were tighter this time, leading to a costly three-foul first quarter for Towns that kept him out until halftime.
