Wolves 151, Spurs 131: Edwards Propels Minnesota to Record-Setting Night
The first quarter of the Minnesota Timberwolves' matchup against the San Antonio Spurs brought back memories of earlier season defeats against clearly lesser opponents.
With the Spurs sitting key players, including Keldon Johnson, Devin Vassell, and Jeremy Sochan, the Wolves allowed 68 points in the first half, which instilled confidence in the frisky Spurs team.
However, even with the defensive troubles, the Timberwolves’ offense hummed all day as the team scored over 30 points in every quarter on the way to setting a new franchise record with 151 points in regulation. The team also set a season-high in assists (42), and 3-pointers made (24).
