For as bad as the Spurs have been all season, the Timberwolves have had their issues with them. The Wolves lost the teams' last meeting, and their largest margin of victory in their two wins entering Tuesday was just eight. Plus, they were without Karl-Anthony Towns on Tuesday, as Towns was out for personal reasons to mourn the death of a friend.
Thanks to a strong second and third quarters, the Wolves were able to coast, almost too much, in a 114-105 victory.
They led by as much as 24 before San Antonio cut it to six in the final minute.
