BOTTOM LINE: Phoenix plays Golden State in Western Conference action Friday. The Warriors are 1-8 in division play.

Though the strength of schedule over this span hasn’t necessarily been impressive, Phoenix has been better recently, winning nine of its last 13 games. So, as the team continues its pursuit of Jimmy Butler, the Suns (24-22) are moving their way up the standings.

Kevin Durant and Anthony Edwards dueled, scoring 33 points each as the Phoenix Suns lost to the Minnesota Timberwolves 121-113 after a second-half collapse.
