With Duncan out, 7-foot-3 rookie Boban Marjanovic split minutes with David West as he finished with 17 points while staying perfect from the floor hitting all seven of his attempts in the Spurs 101-95 win against Minnesota at the AT&T Center.
The win continues to make history for the Spurs at home as they now move to 18-0. San Antonio joined the ranks with the 1978 Portland Trailblazers and the 1986 Houston Rockets to become the only teams in Western Conference History to open the season at 18-0 at home.
Kawhi Leonard scored 17 points and grabbed 10 rebounds.
