Timberwolves reserves make it close, but Suns triumph 116-107
Suns guard Chris Paul slipped a pass between Wolves forward Jaden McDaniels and guard D’Angelo Russell during the second half Tuesday. Paul had 15 points, 12 assists and eight rebounds in Phoenix’s 116-107 victory.Seated next to Jordan McLaughlin (plus-six) for his postgame news conference, Anthony Edwards (minus-12) picked up the boxscore from the Timberwolves' 116-107 loss to Phoenix and examined the plus-minus column.
He noticed a pattern: The Timberwolves' starters all had minus numbers, and all in double digits at that. Most of the Wolves' bench all had positive numbers — and so did Phoenix's starting lineup.
It seemed like an epiphany had come to Edwards in that moment.
