Remember the Seven Seconds or Less Phoenix Suns? Those foot-to-the-floor gunners of the mid-2000s helmed by Steve Nash, Amare Stoudemire and Mike D’Antoni, flanked by star-studded role players like Shawn Marion, Raja Bell and Leandro Barbosa?
Well, the Minnesota Timberwolves aren’t that. That iteration of the Suns won 232 games over a four-season period, and the Wolves have walked away victorious in just 200 games over the last seven seasons.
However, the light at the end of the tunnel has started to glow a little brighter of late, with the Wolves holding a 15-18 win-loss record since the All-Star break and an 8-7 record in the last 15 games.
