After Action Report
In San Antonio, the Spurs survived the Timberwolves 99-98. The Spurs won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. The Spurs came in with something to prove after a loss; Spurs' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. The Spurs locker room is humming, and it showed. Timberwolves' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Survive-and-advance type win.
