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

At 2-1 with a plus-53 point differential, they are still in the NBA Cup hunt. But a win would have all but clinched a spot in the quarters.

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.

Julius Randle had 19 points, 11 rebounds and 10 assists in his 15th career triple-double, and the Minnesota Timberwolves beat the winless Brooklyn Nets 125-109 on Monday night.

Randle and his ISO game have emerged as one of the staples of the Timberwolves’ offense. Especially in the games Ant missed, Julius was the driving force of the Minnesota offense, one that will likely continue to perform at a top-five level if the team wants to achieve its loftiest of goals.

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

And since Nov. 1, Randle’s 128.2 offensive rating is tops in the entire NBA. He’s one of four players currently averaging 25-plus points, seven-plus rebounds and six-plus assists, joining Nikola Jokic, Luka Doncic and Giannis Antetokounmpo.
