At the Footprint Center Anthony Edwards and the Wolves confirmed this feeling of dominance released in the first two matches in Minnesota by winning this game 3 with authority. We began with a very competitive first period, which ended with a slight advantage for the Wolves (53-59), where their dominance in the paint and rebounding was already in place. The guests accelerate in the third quarter, despite the home Big Three, without Grayson Allen due to injury, writing over 20 points each on the scoreboard. With triples the gap increases dramatically with Alexander-Walker having fun (73-95). The return of Josh Okogie and a renewed long-range prowess from the Suns’ stars closes the gap to 10 points, but Okogie’s Flagrant Foul II dismissal on Gobert and Edwards’ timely shot returns leave a bad taste in the mouth of all of Arizona, which now also fears the shame of the sweep.
Phoenix – Minnesota 109-126 (0-3). Boxsore: 28 Beal, 25 Durant, 23 Booker, 11 Gordon for the Suns; 36 Edwards, 19p+14r Gobert, 18p+13r Towns, 15 Conley for the Wolves.
