SAN ANTONIO — The San Antonio Spurs (13-12) will host the Minnesota Timberwolves (13-11) tonight. The Spurs are 1-0 versus the Wolves this season.
GAME REWIND
The Spurs are coming off a 118-116 road win versus the Blazers.
Victor Wembanyama led the team with 28 points and seven rebounds. Harrison Barnes had 10 points and three rebounds, and Chris Paul had five and four assists before being ejected in the first half.
Jeremy Sochan added 15 points, Devin Vassell recorded 23, and Julian Champagnie finished with 19 and five rebounds.
Due to injury, San Antonio was without Keldon Johnson, Zach Collins, and Tre Jones. Head coach Gregg Popovich was also out due to illness. Assistant coach Mitch Johnson assumed head coaching duties for the game.
"I think anytime when you have a tough stretch in a game when you've played well like we did in the third quarter, to be able to have enough time to then respond to that tough stretch and finish the way they did does a lot for our confidence and understanding moving forward," said Mitch Johnson. "When we do get those rough patches, we have the capability to pull ourselves out."
