Phoenix Suns forward Dillon Brooks took a shot at Minnesota Timberwolves forward Julius Randle following the Suns' 114-113 home win on Friday night.

The Minnesota Timberwolves lost an eight-point lead in the final 50 seconds Friday night in Phoenix during a 114-113 NBA Cup loss to the upstart Suns. They lost something else over the final minute and a half, too, according to Wolves head caoch Chris Finch.

Phoenix Suns’ viral young fan is back, stealing the spotlight during Phoenix’s win over the Timberwolves and capturing hearts once again.

At 2-1 with a plus-53 point differential, they are still in the NBA Cup hunt. But a win would have all but clinched a spot in the quarters.

Booker even had time to give two-time Cy Young winner, Detroit Tigers pitcher Tarik Skubal, a pair of his Book sneakers during a timeout in the quarter. He's a big Tigers fan, but the late-game rest is even bigger when considering the Suns have another stretch of three games in four days. Phoenix has already played 15 games.

The Phoenix Suns have been one of the most surprising NBA teams this season, and a possible trade with the New Orleans Pelicans boosts their playoff hopes.
