The Minnesota Timberwolves snapped a three - game losing streak as they defeated the host Phoenix Suns, 98 - 85, at Talking Stick Resort Arena on Friday. The Timberwolves (5 - 10) had been struggling to finish - off games after good starts, but broke that trend as they out - scored the Suns 51 - 33 in the second half, while holding the Suns to only 10 points in the fourth quarter and scoreless for the last three minutes of the game. Minnesota led 29 - 27 after the first quarter but squandered the lead with a poor second quarter, only to come back and earn a much - needed win. All five starters scored in double digits for the Timberwolves, led by Andrew Wiggins who snapped - out of a three - game scoring slump by pouring in 25 points, including going 10 - of - 11 from the foul line. Karl-Anthony Towns followed - up with 22 points, 10 rebounds, four assists, one steal and one block, in 35 minutes. The Timberwolves will face the second night of a back - to - back as they wind - up a three - game road trip in Golden State on Saturday. The Suns (5 - 12) were leading 75 - 67 after three quarters, but fell apart in the fourth, with their lowest scoring quarter of the season, with 10 points on 13 percent shooting from field.
