After Action Report
In San Antonio, the Spurs squeaked past the Timberwolves 130-126. The breakneck pace played right into Spurs' hands. Spurs' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Spurs answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. Tonight's Timberwolves utilization choices clashed with the team identity.
