Timberwolves lose big lead in narrow defeat to Spurs

The Timberwolves have a fourth-quarter problem.

Entering Saturday's matchup in San Antonio, Minnesota had scored 75 points in the fourth quarter of its last four games, the lowest of any team in any four-game stretch this season.

That's right, the same Timberwolves who have sat atop the Western Conference standings for much of the season have had worse fourth-quarter scoring over the last week than anyone this year.

That statistic includes a nine-point blown fourth-quarter lead against the Thunder, as well as a 15-point collapse against the Hornets. Now, they can add another one to the list after falling to the Spurs, 113-112, on Saturday night in a game that they led by as much as 15.
