Heading into the second half of Game 4, the Phoenix Suns carry a 61-56 lead over the Minnesota Timberwolves, fueled by momentum.
As the second quarter drew to a close, the Suns managed a defensive stop, and Kevin Durant quickly advanced the ball to Devin Booker, who was sprinting down the court. The four-time All-Star took two dribbles, set himself, and sunk a 14-foot fadeaway as time expired.

Booker concluded the half with 19 points, while he and Durant combined for 54 of the Suns’ 61 first-half points, as reported by ESPN Stats and Information.
The Suns have effectively contained Timberwolves star Anthony Edwards, holding him to just nine points at halftime. Facing a 3-0 deficit in the series, Phoenix aims to extend its playoff life with a victory, though their chances to overturn the series remain slim, as no NBA team has ever rallied from a 3-0 deficit to win a playoff series.
A win for the Suns would take the series back to Minnesota for Game 5.
