GAME RECAP

Impact player

Brandon Knight, Suns

Fifth-year guard with a fat new contract signed last summer made a career-high seven threes — half of what he attempted — one game after he went 0-for-8 from that distance.

BY THE NUMBERS

4 Blocked shots by Suns point guard Eric Bledsoe. That was as many as the Wolves had Sunday and tied his career high. He also had 23 points, nine assists, five rebounds and four steals.

6 Times that Wolves guard Zach LaVine has scored 25 or points in a game during his short career. His 28-point day was his fifth 20-point game this season as well.

0 Seconds played for all five Wolves starters in the fourth quarter.
