Timberwolves Beat Suns 93-83, Move To Summer League Finals

LAS VEGAS (AP) -- Tyus Jones fought through an injured left wrist and thumb to lead Minnesota to the final of the tournament with 29 points, six assists and three rebounds. Jones had 18 points in the first half, but was injured when he landed hard on the court before halftime. The 2015 No. 24 pick came out of the break heavily bandaged, but continued to play as the Timberwolves outscored the Suns 24-18 in the third quarter to take a 67-66 lead. Jones' floater kicked off a 12-3 run to start the final quarter that effectively put things away.

Adreian Payne, the 2014 No. 15 pick, had a double-double with 18 points and 10 rebounds for Minnesota. Troy Williams led the Suns with 24 points and six rebounds, and Askia Booker had 19 points off the bench. Tyler Ulis was held to 11 points on 5-for-21 shooting after hitting the winner Saturday night.

No. 4 pick Dragan Bender and All-Rookie first-team Devin Booker did not play for the Suns.
