This isn't a true test: Timberwolves deserve a better challenge from Phoenix

Minnesota sports paranoia (MSP) caused many Timberwolves fans to bemoan a first-round matchup with the Phoenix Suns, the team that nobody wanted to play.

Turns out the greatest challenge facing the Wolves will face in this series is taking the Suns seriously as a threat in Game 4.

With a 126-109 victory in Game 3 on Friday night in Phoenix, the Wolves took a 3-0 lead in the series. Sunday night, the Wolves could complete the first playoff sweep in franchise history.

If you like a little drama with your sports, you almost wish that the Suns would offer more resistance than a thin flour tortilla.
