Don’t fret. Back in 2022, the Dallas Mavericks found themselves in a similar situation, down 0-2, but came back to win. The year before that, the Milwaukee Bucks accomplished the same thing. There’s always room for hope!

'Their physicality tarnishes our ability to get into our sets faster ... they're just making us work before we even get into our sets.' - Beal

'It wasn't between us. It was about what was going on in the game. Our efforts as a team. It wasn't nothing between me and Coach.'

Bradley Beal on exchange with Frank Vogel in 4th quarter of Game 2 loss to T-Wolves.

Suns could not execute any aggressive PnR coverage tonight, rotations were atrocious behind the initial defenders

Game still within reach in the 4th and this is how the Suns looked trying to contain simple Conley/Gobert PnRs

Suns closeout defense has been atrocious tonight

You can't overhelp on Anthony Edwards as a driver if your players can't recover back out to the perimeter and contain off of ball movement

Definitely not the reason the Suns are losing but how do we expect them to ignore the calls and match physicality/intensity when Frank Vogel is chirping at the refs all game long too?

Part of why Nurkic is shooting so much is cutters are hard to come by with Minnesota clogging interior with their length and size

The one thing that hasn’t happened yet in this game that definitely could is Ant getting hot

Suns need to get more organized to weather that storm + KAT returning

Suns did a good job taking advantage of KAT foul trouble

Not only did it take away an offensive threat for MIN, but it forced them to put McDaniels on KD instead of Book

Wolves shooting themselves in the foot so far

But the Suns refusing to drive to the rim any time Gobert is in the game... is not sustainable

Love EJ but the Wolves have a hard time getting back?

Their transition defense was *great* in Game 1 and was 4th in the NBA this season
