Spurs vs. Timberwolves Preview: How to Watch, Lineups, Injury News, More
The San Antonio Spurs (2-1) are coming off back-to-back impressive wins over Eastern Conference opponents. They will take on the Minnesota Timberwolves (2-1) on Wednesday to potentially extend their winning streak to three.
In their previous outing, the Spurs defeated the Philadelphia 76ers 114-105. Devin Vassell scored 20 of his 22 points in the opening half while Keldon Johnson (21) also surpassed the 20-point mark. Doug McDermott scored 14 points off the bench with Jakob Poeltl also chipping in 13 points and 12 rebounds.
"They showed me they are serious about getting a better understanding of what the league is like," San Antonio coach Gregg Popovich said after the win. "For young guys, it was pretty impressive to play as hard as they did."
Given the Spurs' reliance on playing inside the 3-point line, it will be an intriguing matchup to measure how they handle Rudy Gobert's paint presence. Managing to slow down Karl-Anthony Towns and Anthony Edwards will be no easy task either.
