Following the Phoenix Suns (46-31) defeating the Minnesota Timberwolves (53-24) 97-87, coach Frank Vogel discusses the key to allowing a season-low 87 points, the team’s defensive and offensive execution, closing out games, the state of the team, defensive communication and more.

Phoenix led wire-to-wire after a 15-0 run to start the game and held Minnesota to 39% shooting and forced 18 turnovers.

Key stats (via Suns):
Grayson Allen: 23 PTS, 8 REB, 1 AST, 2 STL
