NBA Playoffs: Suns' much-hyped season all but over after falling behind 3-0 vs. Timberwolves

The Phoenix Suns are one loss away from a first-round exit. And an offseason full of uncomfortable questions.

The Minnesota Timberwolves defeated the Suns 126-109 in Game 3 of their first-round series on Friday, pushing a would-be superteam to the brink of elimination. Game 4 is scheduled for 6:30 p.m. MST in Phoenix on Sunday (ESPN).

No team in NBA history has ever come back from a 3-0 series lead.

It was a competitive game for nearly a half, but the Timberwolves had a six-point lead at halftime then proceeded to push it into the 20s in the third quarter.
