Wolves Get Hot From Deep, Beat Spurs In San Antonio

The Wolves won in San Antonio for the first time in six years on Wednesday night, beating the Spurs 113-101.

“I acknowledge that in those six years, in that time, in the last 20 years, there’s a number of championship banners up there,” Wolves coach Ryan Saunders said after the game. “So, they've had some very good teams. So, it's been a challenge but we're glad to be the group that broke that streak.

There are plenty of storylines from the game, but the most valuable to the win was the fact that the Wolves shot 18-for-40 (45 percent) from the 3-point line compared to the Spurs shooting just 5-for-29 from deep.
