Spurs: The San Antonio Spurs defeated the Minnesota Timberwolves 115 to 107 as V. Wembanyama (39pts,15rebs,5blks) showed the NBA exactly why he is considered an Alien👽! The third year star played like the MVP candidate he is and was too much for the Wolves down the stretch! D. Fox (17pts,5ast) was the Robin to Wemby’s superman! He started slow but picked up his scoring and all around contributions to the team! S. Castle (13pts,12ast) and D. Vassell (13pts,6rebs) played solid defense and put pressure on Minnesota’s guards all night. C. Bryant (6pts) and J. Champagnie (6pts,10rebs) also gave the Wolves stars different looks and hit a few timely shots when the Wolves were gaining momentum. K. Johnson (11pts) and D. Harper (8pts,4ast) gave great effort and played well off the bench for San Antonio. The Spurs ran more out pacing the Wolves 13 to 7 in fast break points as well as controlling the paint scoring 46 points to the Wolves 38. This was a solid win against a good team, but San Antonio has to maintain thier emotions and go for the throat Sunday!

Wolves: The Timberwolves had no answer for Wemby. R. Gobert (13pts,7rebs,3blks) did his best, but this is a matchup many in the NBA are starting to realize is far more difficult as the series goes on, especially as Wemby gains more confidence. J. McDaniels (17pts,7rebs) was solid but he is having to try and stop so many different matchups. This can get in the way of his offensive game. A. Edwards (32pts,14rebs,6ast) was awesome all night. He brought his team back into the game and gave them a chance in the fourth quarter. He definitely needs more help from his supporting cast. J. Randle (12pts,6rebs) and N. Reid (18pts,9rebs5ast,2blks) were trying thier best to stop Wemby and go back at him. Both had moments at guarding the Alien but neither was able to slow down the extraterrestrial! A. Dosunmu (11pts,7rebs,5ast) gave the Wolves some punch, even replacing M. Conley (0pts) after halftime. The question is, can Minnesota slow down the Alien and tie the series?
