The Wolves gameplan:  Run the Suns into the ground.

It would make sense in most cases.  The Suns are at the end of a 5-game road trip, they are on the second half of a back-to-back and they've played 5 games in 7 nights.

But so far the strategy hasn't worked for the Timberwolves.  The Suns are definitely tired.  The shots they are missing are mostly short.  And they aren't getting the same rebounds they normally get.  But they've done enough to get an 8-point lead at half time.  They lead the Timberwolves 68-60.
