After Action Report
In Minnesota, the Spurs survived the Timberwolves 102-99. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Spurs' old heads steadied the ship in the swings; the Timberwolves answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Spurs bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Spurs per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Survive-and-advance type win.
