The Minnesota Timberwolves have taken a commanding 2-0 lead in their first-round playoff series against the Phoenix Suns, putting the defending Western Conference champions on the brink of elimination. Despite a heated exchange between Suns guard Bradley Beal and head coach Frank Vogel during Game 2, Beal has assured the media that there is no issue between them. However, the Suns continue to struggle against the Timberwolves, who have outplayed them in almost every statistical category. The series now moves to Phoenix for the next two games, but the Suns have not played significantly better at home during the regular season.
