Bradley Beal on the Suns needing to be better at handling adversity in games: 'You have to. Whatever it takes as a team. We gotta be better at coming together collectively in those moments. It’s crazy, nobody’s energy is in the wrong space, nobody’s mindset is in the wrong place'

Frank Vogel on Suns failure to handle adversity: 'We can't let the refs distract our focus. The refs didn't beat us, the T-Wolves did.'

Followed up on his postgame message: 'Keep challenging each other but stay connected. There's a lot of love in that locker room with that team'

Frank Vogel on the Suns’ composure: 'Poor. Yeah, we didn't keep our composure.'

Duane Rankin: “Was that a matter of the game not going your way, the crowd getting into it, what would you attribute that to?'

Vogel: 'All of the above. But we've gotta be better.'

Grayson Allen on how his ankle's feeling: 'Rolled it pretty good, but we got the same thing as last game: 48 hours in between, two days, so we'll see how it goes after two days of treatment.'

Bradley Beal on this exchange: 'It was not between us two. It was just kinda like what was going on in the game, refs, our flow, our defense was bad. I was just like, 'What are we doing?' We're good, it wasn't nothing like that.'

Frank Vogel on Grayson Allen's ankle: 'X-rays negative again. Re-aggravated the same ankle, and he'll be day-to-day.'

The Timberwolves have outscored the Suns by 33 points off turnovers in their 1st Round series.

That is the largest difference in points off turnovers through the first 2 games of a series since the Heat in the 2013 Conf Semis vs the Bulls (also +33).

The brutal part is the Suns probably got the best games they're gonna get out of Eric Gordon and Drew Eubanks. Still getting walloped by Jaden McDaniels, Rudy Gobert and Mike Conley

Wolves just started the 4Q on a 15-5 run to go up 17, and Anthony Edwards was on the bench for all of it. Shot-making leaving a lot to be desired tonight, and now you can add 'general fight' to the list
