Spurs defense offers T-Pups another harsh lesson

Game 22, @Minnesota: Spurs 105, Timberwolves 91

Rec: 18-4, 1st in Southwest Division, 2nd in West Streak: W-4

I admit that I’m not always pumped up for every game on the schedule, but truly I’ve been looking forward to this one for a while. Wednesday offered an interesting match-up, a contrast in styles and developmental bell-curves. The Timberwolves are supposed to be the next big thing in the league, the successors to the Warriors’ throne in, oh, 2020 or so. They’ve got successive number one overall picks in Andrew Wiggins and Karl-Anthony Towns, another freakish wing in Zach LaVine, and more talent in the pipeline.
