Key Highlights from the Game

Defensively, Minnesota was formidable, accumulating 11 steals and blocking four shots, which contributed significantly to their win.

His contribution was pivotal in maintaining Minnesota's offensive momentum throughout the game. Nickeil Alexander-Walker also made notable contributions offensively with 17 points and three assists, showcasing his scoring ability and playmaking skills.


San Antonio's Efforts


Despite falling short in this contest, San Antonio displayed resilience particularly in the third quarter where they managed to outscore Minnesota by nine points (33-24), hinting at a potential comeback that ultimately fell short due to Minnesota's strong fourth-quarter performance where they scored 30 points. The Spurs were led by their collective effort on assists totaling at an impressive number of 34 for the game but struggled from beyond three-point range shooting only at twenty-four percent which hindered their ability to close down on Minnesota’s lead.
