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.

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.
