The Phoenix Suns are on the brink of elimination, trailing the Minnesota Timberwolves 3-0 in their first-round playoff series. The Suns, despite boasting a star-studded trio of Kevin Durant, Devin Booker, and Bradley Beal, have been unable to match the Timberwolves’ intensity and execution. Minnesota has won by an average of 18 points a night, and the Suns have no historical precedent for overcoming such a large deficit. The Suns’ future is also uncertain, as they have limited flexibility to add new pieces and are heavily reliant on their Big Three, who account for a significant portion of their salary cap. Meanwhile, the Timberwolves, led by rising star Anthony Edwards, appear poised to advance to the second round for the first time since 2004.
