Minnesota Timberwolves at Phoenix Suns
· National Basketball AssociationEdwards scores 44 points, Randle adds 20 in return to help the Timberwolves beat the Suns 116-98

Edwards scored 17 points in the third quarter as the Timberwolves took control, turning a two-point halftime deficit into a 83-72 lead heading into the fourth. Minnesota never trailed in the final quarter, winning for just the third time in the past nine games.
Donte DiVincenzo scored 24 points on eight 3-pointers. Randle was in the lineup for the first time since Jan. 30 after missing 13 games with a right groin strain.
The sliding Suns have lost 11 of their last 14. Kevin Durant led the team with 26 points.
Phoenix led for nearly the entire first half and took a 51-49 advantage into halftime. Randle led all scorers with 16 points while Devin Booker had 12 for the Suns and finished with 17.
Suns: It's more of the same for the Suns, who had a full roster of healthy players and still couldn't beat another playoff-caliber team. Phoenix needs a minor miracle to make the playoffs at this point and it doesn't look like one is coming.
