Phoenix Suns vs Minnesota Timberwolves Final Score & Over/Under Result — Dec 8, 2025

Anthony Edwards' 40-point eruption wasn't enough to lift Minnesota past a Phoenix side that held firm in a defensive second half, with the Suns stealing a 108–105 road win. The matchup was the third meeting between these teams this season; their previous encounter on November 21st went to 227 total points, setting expectations for another high-volume affair. Instead, the market total of 225.5 proved overcooked. DAGGER leaned under, and it cashed by 12.5 points.

The first half exploded as both offenses found rhythm early, combining for 118 points across two quarters. Q2 was the flashpoint, with a combined 66 points that nearly matched the pace the second half would entirely reject. Phoenix's Mark Williams led early scoring with 22 points, 7 rebounds, and 3 assists, while Collin Gillespie chipped in 19 points, 6 rebounds, and 4 assists. But Minnesota's Edwards was unstoppable; he poured in 40 points to go with 9 rebounds and 2 assists, the dominant individual performance of the night. Julius Randle added 21 points and 8 assists for the hosts.

The second half, however, belonged to the Suns' defense. Minnesota and Phoenix combined for just 95 points across the final 24 minutes—a stark 23-point drop from the first-half pace. Q4 proved particularly stingy at 45 combined points as both teams tightened their rotations. Dillon Brooks (18 points, 2 rebounds, 2 assists) and Rudy Gobert's 15 points and 8 rebounds couldn't generate the late surge the Timberwolves needed. The under held firm as the contest closed in suffocating fashion.
