Spurs: The San Antonio Spurs lost a close game to the Minnesota Timberwolves after leading for most of the contest. D. Fox lead the way with 25 points and D. Vassell chipped in 22 points but it was not enough against a Wolves team that erupted in the fourth quarter! K. Johnson continued his strong play with 22 points off the bench as well as rookie sensation D. Harper scoring 17 points off the bench to help the Spurs stay in the game. The Wolves outscored the Spurs 36 to 19 in the fourth quarter to steal the game and get the win! Having L. Kornet in the game in the 4th quarter when Wemby returns will help this team close out good teams but when Wemby is not there and other teams such as the Wolves goes small ball L. Kornet is not an ideal match-up on defense due to his immobility. Time will show how the Spurs can close out certain good teams but when a team goes small Coach M. Johnson will have to make a calculated adjustment if the Spurs are to make take that next step!

Wolves: The Timberwolves are a good squad! They have plenty of offense and defense to make another deep run in the playoffs! The question remains how will R. Gobert be utilized in the playoffs? The Wolves made a run with him on the bench most of the second half. A. Edwards (ANT-MAN) is off to a good start for the season and scored 32 points. The Spurs made his earn it but he was efficient throughout the game. N. Reid was stellar off the bench with 15 points and D. DiVencenzo had 18 to help the Wolves beat the Spurs. Look for this team to make a deep run!
