What to Know
The Timberwolves are 2-8 against the Suns since January of 2022 but they’ll have a chance to close the gap a little bit on Tuesday. The Minnesota Timberwolves will fight it out against the Phoenix Suns in a Western Conference playoff contest at 7:30 p.m. ET at Target Center. The matchup is expected to be a close one, with the Timberwolves going off at just a three-point favorite.
The Timberwolves will bounce into Tuesday’s game after (finally) beating the Suns, who they hadn’t topped in nine consecutive meetings. The Timberwolves put the hurt on the Suns with a sharp 120-95 victory on Saturday. The match was all but wrapped up at the end of the third, by which point Minnesota had established a 20 point advantage.
Despite their defeat, the Suns saw several players rise to the challenge and make noteworthy plays. Kevin Durant, who scored 31 points along with seven rebounds, was perhaps the best of all. Durant’s performance made up for a slower contest against the Timberwolves last Sunday.
The Timberwolves are sitting pretty at the moment, as they lead the series with the Suns 1-0. Check back on CBS Sports after the game to see if the Timberwolves can extend their lead or if the Suns can make up some ground.

See how the bald eagle’s story shows its enduring symbolism
As the U.S. celebrates 250 years, the bald eagle endures as North America’s native sea eagle and national bird.
The common loon, Minnesota’s state bird, is more closely related to a penguin than a duck.
Despite loons predominantly living in the northern hemisphere and penguins mostly living in the southern hemisphere, researchers consider them to be genetic cousins. Taxonomic analyses placed them in an evolutionary cluster tracing back 40 million to 50 million years ago, along with herons and pelicans.
While loons and ducks share habitat on Minnesota lakes, they aren’t close relatives. Ducks are closer cousins to geese and swans.
After sharing a common ancestor, penguins and loons developed distinct characteristics. Loons can fly, but struggle to move on land; penguins can’t fly, but waddle on land. Penguins use flipper-like wings to swim; loons use webbed feet for underwater propulsion.
They have some similar features, however, including dense bones to help dive underwater and their tuxedo coloring.

Fires in the past burned more frequently in western Canada, but recent years have seen that trend migrate eastward, with large fires now burning in Ontario, Quebec and Atlantic provinces, Prof Chasmer said, leading to more noticeable smoke in densely populated cities like Toronto and New York.
