PHOENIX -- The Minnesota Timberwolves had an eight-point lead with less than a minute to go Friday night, talking a little smack to their opponents as a hard-fought, chippy game between Western Conference rivals came to a close.
There was one problem: The Phoenix Suns weren't done.
Backup guard Collin Gillespie hit the go-ahead jumper with 6.4 seconds left, and the Suns rallied to stun the Timberwolves 114-113 for their seventh win in eight games. The final minute of the game was a masterclass in comeback moxie, with an unheralded group of Suns putting together a wild win.
"They were talking too early and I love that, when guys get too confident," Suns forward Dillon Brooks said. "Once the pressure starts heating up, their eyes start getting big, they start getting scared."
