The Spurs have been consistently getting out to slow starts in recent games.
Last night, that slow start came in the second quarter. The Spurs shot 4-of-10 from the field and 3-of-7 from beyond the arc, totaling just 17 points for the quarter.
The Spurs didn’t reach the free throw line the entire first half, resulting in a halftime deficit.
With the Spurs, it’s always a “tale of two halves.”
The Spurs have outscored the Wolves 23-11 since late in the 2Q when MIN led by 12.
