In their last outing against the Trail Blazers, Minnesota's offense was nothing short of spectacular, dropping 128 points with a shooting efficiency that would intimidate any opponent. They led for nearly the entire game and boasted a largest lead of 38 points, which speaks volumes about their ability to control the game's tempo. Their offensive prowess was matched by their defense as they held Portland to just 91 points.


The team's statistics over the past several games reveal consistent strengths: an average shooting percentage from the field hovering around 52 percent and from beyond the arc at approximately 37 percent. Additionally, they've been successful on fast break opportunities, converting two-thirds of those attempts into points.

One key factor for Minnesota has been their bench contribution; in two out of three recent games, bench players have contributed significantly to scoring totals – indicating depth that could prove vital against San Antonio.


The upcoming game is expected to be no different in terms of intensity and execution. With home-court advantage at Target Center – where fan energy has often acted as a sixth man – Minnesota will look to capitalize on this momentum.
