Suns rout t-wolves

Jason Richardson scored 27 points and Amare Stoudemire 25, then sat with the rest of the Phoenix starters while the Suns' reserves finished off a 152-114 rout of Minnesota on Monday night in the highest-scoring game by an NBA team this season.

Lou Amundson matched his career high with 20 points as Phoenix sent the Timberwolves to their 10th straight loss and 16th in the past 17 games.

The Suns, with eight players in double figures, shot 56 percent and 15 of 31 from 3-point range to win their ninth in 12 games.
