Result: Win
San Antonio has won two straight to climb over the .500 mark and they are at home here. They also are missing a few key reserves, which can impact their rotation at this point. Minnesota has played solid basketball, winning five of their last six and they look to avenge a loss here in San Antonio last month. The Timberwolves are healthy and are a suffocating unit defensively. In addition to ranking fourth in scoring defense, Minnesota is seventh in field goal percentage defense (45.6%), 1st in threes allowed per game (11.7), fourth in three-point defense (33.7%) and seventh in turnovers forced per game (16) this season. With the Timberwolves being better on both ends of the floor, look for them to avenge their previous defeat and even the season series.
