The young Spurs sure like to make things interesting, don’t they? After leading by over 30 points going into the final period, San Antonio couldn’t simply cruise to a victory. Instead, the same late-game issues that almost cost them against the Pacers resurfaced against the Timberwolves and turned what should have been a blowout into a still impressive but closer 115-106 win.
The ending was a little rough, but the start of the game was nearly perfect for the Silver and Black. Like it happened to the Pacers and the 76ers, the Timberwolves simply weren’t ready to match San Antonio’s energy early on.
