The Suns shot 55 percent from the floor, and grabbed 15 offensive rebounds in the game as they controlled the glass.
Goran Dragic led the way for Phoenix with 21. He also dished out eight assists in the contest. Just as he did in their last meeting, Gerald Green knocked down some big shots, finishing with 19 points.
Green led a Phoenix bench that scored 52 points in the game.

The Wolves remain the only NBA team without a two-game winning streak this season.
I remember Dan Monson correcting me once when I called two wins a streak. #Wolves can't even get that“@PhilErvin: The streak is over.”
