Despite a scalding performance from Devin Booker and falling down by as many as 16, the Wolves beat the Suns, 120-117, thanks to an awesome buzzer-beater from Randle, the centerpiece of the trade that changed everything for Minnesota this season.

Sunday’s game against Phoenix went like much of Julius Randle’s season so far in Minnesota — not always pretty, Phoenix led most of the way and had focused on getting the ball of his hands and daring the other Minnesota players to beat them. Still, he found his spots and had 32 points on 10-of-19 shooting.
