After Action Report
The Spurs squeaked past the Timberwolves 100-98. The Spurs won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. The Spurs answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Spurs' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Spurs locker room is humming, and it showed. The Spurs rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
