The 2024-25 Phoenix Suns season officially looks lost after the team backed up an awesome first half showing against the Minnesota Timberwolves with an equally abysmal performance in the second half of the contest.

Not all is well in the world of the Phoenix Suns - that much has been clear for some time. The Suns went into Sunday night's loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves posting a massively disappointing 28-32 record after making many moves to improve what was seen as a letdown year in 2023-24.

Norman Powell's absences have contributed to a 1-5 record since the All-Star break and the sixth seed in the West seemingly slipping away.

Kawhi Leonard and the Los Angeles Clippers lost to the Los Angeles Lakers in back-to-back games, falling 108-102 Sunday night and 106-102 Friday night. Leonard led the way for the Clippers Sunday, contributing 33 points and ten rebounds, both season-highs for the six-time NBA All-Star.

The Phoenix Suns will have to scale a loaded and deep Western Conference to clinch a postseason spot after the All-Star break.

The Clippers fought back admirably in this one after falling behind by as much as 21 points in the third quarter. Leonard, who scored 10 points in the final frame, led the Clippers as they cut down the lead to five points with less than two minutes remaining in the game.
