The Suns will be in front of their home fans on Sunday, but a look at the spread shows they might need that home-court advantage. They will fight it out against the Minnesota Timberwolves in a Western Conference playoff contest at 9:30 p.m. ET at Footprint Center. The Suns are staggering into the matchup hobbled by three consecutive losses, while the Timberwolves will skip in buoyed by three consecutive wins.

While the experts predicted the Suns would be headed into the match after a victory, that's not how things played out against the Timberwolves on Friday. The game between the Suns and the Timberwolves wasn't particularly close, with the Suns falling 126-109. Phoenix was down 95-73 at the end of the third quarter, which was just too much to recover from.

The Timberwolves can attribute much of their success to Anthony Edwards, who almost dropped a double-double on 36 points and nine rebounds. Rudy Gobert was another key contributor, dropping a double-double on 19 points and 14 rebounds.

This is a must-win for the Suns as the Timberwolves are a game away from taking the series. Check back here after the game to see if the Suns can force a Game 7 or if the Timberwolves leave them behind.
