The Timberwolves began the season with a disappointing loss to the Spurs. After losing every match-up during the 2016-17 season against the Spurs (0-4), this was a familiar feeling. Luckily, Karl-Anthony Towns‘ forty minute game of offensive insanity led to a Timberwolves twelve point win on November 15, 2017.
Up until that win, The Wolves had lost fourteen straight games against San Antonio, dating back to early 2014. Making the past fifteen match-ups – of Spurs and Timberwolves – a saddening record of: Fourteen Spurs wins to one Wolves win.
