Durant: Suns 'embarrassed Ourselves' In Humiliating 116-98 Home Loss To The Timberwolves
A brutal season for the Phoenix Suns hit a low Sunday night with a humiliating 116-98 home loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves.
"We didn't play up to our standards at all," All-Star forward Kevin Durant said. "We embarrassed the fans and we embarrassed ourselves the way we played. I want us to be better."
There's not much evidence that's going to happen.
Phoenix lost for the 11th time in 14 games and fell to 28-33 for the season. The team is four games behind the Dallas Mavericks for the final spot in the Western Conference play-in tournament and will need a minor miracle over the last 21 games of the season just to have a chance at the postseason.
It's far from the situation that the Suns expected back in October. They started the year with championship aspirations with a highly-paid and accomplished roster that includes Durant, four-time All-Star Devin Booker and three-time All-Star Bradley Beal.
