The Phoenix Suns are currently in a dire situation in the playoff series. Facing the Minnesota Timberwolves hasn’t been easy for them, as the Wolves have shown insane physicality in every game. Suns star Bradley Beal recently shared his thoughts on how his team can get past the Wolves.
“They are a really good team. They pride themselves on being one of the best defensive teams. You gotta give them respect, but the way they utilize Rudy, they allow his to go one on one with any big who catches the ball, so they just fan out and deny Kevin (Durant), Book (Devin Booker), and me; they deny us all,” said Beal.

The three-time NBA All-Star paid respects to the Wolves for being one of the best defensive teams in the league. He explained how the Wolves use Rudy Gobert to shut down their opponent’s big man and scorers.
“It is a collective thing, man. We all gotta take it a step higher than what we are,” added Beal. He pointed out that getting past the Wolves won’t be an easy task. It would require efforts from everyone on the team collectively and equally so that they can ascend to a higher level of play and surpass the Wolves.
