After Action Report

In San Antonio, the Spurs survived the Timberwolves 103-98 in overtime. Execution down the stretch made the difference. The Spurs carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one; Timberwolves' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The Spurs locker room is humming, and it showed. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.

What tipped it

  • Spurs · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
  • Spurs · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Timberwolves · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
