If you love scoring and hate defense then this was the game for you, as the San Antonio Spurs and the Minnesota Timberwolves put up a combined 288 points in regulation. The home side came out of the contest with the loss because of a franchise and career high 60-point night from Karl Anthony-Towns.
To start the game, the Wolves were showing a bit of defense by applying pressure on the Spurs ball handlers with the tone being set by their defensive stalwart, Patrick Beverley. The road team came into the contest shooting the most threes per game than any other team in the league, so it was no surprise that they were lighting up the AT&T center early on.
