If you ask me one reason why the @Timberwolves will win this series against the @Suns ...I would say "Team unity." Unity between the players, coaches and fans. It's the most connected group in my 26 years with as a broadcaster. Target Center has been a party all season long.

This is exactly what @JimPeteHoops and @Grady are talking about. The NBA does not officiate all of their players consistently and it’s frustrating as a fan. How can one of these plays be called a foul and the other play is ignored?
