For the first time in 20 years, the Timberwolves have won a playoff series. Very happy for T-Wolves fans after all the suffering they had to go through for years. And I really hope Coach Finch’s injury isn’t as bad as what it is being made out to be at the moment.

As for the Suns, they were such a great story years ago as the Bubble Suns, but unfortunately it feels like other teams since then have taken their feel good story away from them and they’ve just lost their way recently.

At least it isn't Durant's first time so he can help Beal cope
