Tempers flared and the Minnesota Timberwolves responded. Timberwolves coach Chris Finch was ejected after picking up his second technical foul during the third quarter of Wednesday night's game against the Phoenix Suns.

"Obviously I’m a player so I’m trying to play but it’s not up to me,” Dunn said.

Ryan Dunn was ruled out prior to tip-off due to an ankle sprain suffered early in Phoenix's victory over the Washington Wizards, so the Suns had to adapt once again. Head coach Mike Budenholzer opted to keep the same starting lineup intact that contributed to the victory over the Los Angeles Clippers on Monday.

The teams meet Thursday for the first of four times this season. When Utah last played, seven players sat out.

Kevin Durant and Anthony Edwards dueled, scoring 33 points each as the Phoenix Suns lost to the Minnesota Timberwolves 121-113 after a second-half collapse.

Minnesota Timberwolves star Rudy Gobert narrowly avoided being hit by what appeared to be a falling piece of equipment from the jumbotron at the Target Center during a game against the Atlanta Hawks on Monday.

A remarkable recent growth in offensive efficiency exhibited by Ant, Naz and McDaniels offers hope for the season.

The Timberwolves outscored Phoenix 30-14 over the next 10 minutes to deliver a 121-113 road victory over a team it is jostling with for position in the middle of the Western Conference standings. Wednesday’s bout was very reminiscent of Minnesota’s first-round sweep over the Suns last spring.

The good news is that Dillingham is available. Without Donte DiVincenzo (toe) in recent weeks, Dillingham has been a key piece of the rotation, playing over 10 minutes in five of his last six games. Dillingham is averaging 5.0 points, 1.8 assists and 1.0 rebounds per game this season, and he's scored in double digits in three of his last six games.

The Minnesota Timberwolves rode a pivotal fourth-quarter run to a 121-113 road win over the Phoenix Suns on Wednesday in a chippy contest featuring a bevy of technical fouls.
