Losses are very rarely all bad, and futures are very rarely all bleak, so it’s important to face down the positives to take into Game 2 as the Phoenix Suns look to bounce back against the Minnesota Timberwolves.
After all, even with how poorly the Suns did play, they were still in it for much of the second half.
One of the areas that stand out most in my mind is the glass, where Rudy Gobert dominated in a way most fans probably weren’t ready to accept. His 16 rebounds were more than half what the Suns accumulated as a team.
