Suns 108 (38-40) - Timberwolves 98 (17-62) | Target Center
The Timberwolves failed to stop the classic Phoenix Suns pick-and-roll attack on Wednesday night and fell 108-98 at Target Center.
Steve Nash and Aaron Brooks fueled the charge by executing the pick-and-roll offense beautifully. Brooks had 19 points and six assists, while Nash chipped in with six points and nine assists to lead the balanced Suns attack that had six players in double figures.
Nash got his teammates involved early by using his patent pick-and-roll penetration to drop dimes for easy buckets. The Suns set the tone quickly and controlled the lead for the majority of the contest after starting the game with an 11-2 run.
With the penetration generated from the pick-and-roll, Phoenix was able to exploit a weak Minnesota help defense by getting high-percentage looks and dropping 56 points in the paint.
