After Action Report
The Spurs buried the Timberwolves 118-77. The Spurs got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Spurs couldn't shake the cold spell; Spurs' outside barrage was a constant threat. Timberwolves' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. It was over by halftime.
What tipped it
- Spurs · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Spurs · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Timberwolves · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
