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 Suns led by as many as 12 points after the midway point in the first half, but were unable to sustain their advantage. The T-Wolves were down two, 72-70, when their head coach, Chris Finch, was ejected after receiving a second technical with 5:07 left in the third quarter.
