Bradley Beal explained his thought process after he picked up a flagrant foul for shoving Anthony Edwards during an attempted alley-oop.

Phoenix Suns guard Bradley Beal didn’t have bad intentions late in Sunday’s 116-98 home loss to Minnesota when he fouled an airborne Anthony Edwards at PHX Arena — but enough was enough. “It’s like scoring at the end of the game when you don’t have to,” Beal said after Monday’s practice.

In the fourth quarter of the Timberwolves’ 116-98 victory over the Suns, forward Julius Randle made a hustle play to save a loose a ball from going out of bounds. Moments later, Nickeil Alexander-Walker delivered a beautiful no-look pass to reward Randle with a layup.
