Phoenix Suns forward Dillon Brooks took a shot at Minnesota Timberwolves forward Julius Randle following the Suns' 114-113 home win on Friday night.

The Minnesota Timberwolves suffered one of their most frustrating losses of the season on Friday night, letting a late lead slip away in a 114-113 defeat to the Phoenix Suns.

The Minnesota Timberwolves had an eight-point lead with less than minute to go Friday night, talking a little smack to their opponents as a hard-fought, chippy game between Western Conference rivals came to a close.

Minnesota had the game in the bag until two turnovers and a pair of missed free throws killed them in Phoenix.

In his third season, Gillespie has established himself as an early contender for the NBA's Sixth Man of the Year award.

The Minnesota Timberwolves (10-5) travel to the Mortgage Matchup Center to face the Phoenix Suns (9-6) in this Friday night NBA matchup.

After being knotted at 20-20, the Suns took a 32-24 lead into the second quarter thanks to a poor shooting effort (32% from the field, 25% from downtown) with Collin Gillespie leading all Suns in scoring with eight points coming off the bench.

Both the Minnesota Timberwolves and Phoenix Suns may be without multiple key players in Friday night's matchup.
