AUSTIN, Texas — In order to keep their chances of a top eight seed alive, the Timberwolves needed to overcome one of their biggest flaws — an inability to beat teams at the bottom of the standings.
After a season full of head-shaking, inexplicable losses to the worst teams in the league, the Wolves finally did as they should in defeating San Antonio 151-131 in Austin, Texas, where the Spurs hosted their last two home games.
The Wolves improved to 6-10 on the season and at a minimum, Sunday's game against the Pelicans will be for the No.
