Ricky Davis added 17 points and eight assists and Marko Jaric had 11 points for the Timberwolves, who have won two straight and improved to 2-2 under new head coach Randy Wittman.

Steve Nash had 20 points and 18 assists for the Suns, who suffered only their third loss in 36 games. Raja Bell led Phoenix with 26 points and Shawn Marion had 24 points and 10 boards, as the Suns' franchise-record win streak came to a halt.

Minnesota then managed to survive the final two-plus minutes to come away with the win.

Madsen ended with six points for the Timberwolves, who trailed 31-29 after one quarter and 68-60 at halftime. Mark Blount and Trenton Hassell added 10 points apiece for Minnesota, which drew within 95-94 after three quarters.
