Timberwolves Secure Fifth Straight Win Over Spurs

The Minnesota Timberwolves secured a commanding 141-124 victory over the San Antonio Spurs, marking their fifth consecutive win and highest-scoring game of the season. Anthony Edwards led the Timberwolves with 25 points, while Naz Reid contributed 20 points and seven rebounds. Despite the absence of star center Victor Wembanyama for the Spurs due to deep vein thrombosis, De'Aaron Fox scored 22 points in the game. This win places the Timberwolves eight games above the .500 mark, with impressive performances from multiple players, including Julius Randle who nearly achieved a triple-double. The Spurs, currently struggling with a 26-36 record, will face the Dallas Mavericks next. Meanwhile, Minnesota continues its winning streak, having also narrowly defeated the Miami Heat 106-104 in their previous game, where Mike Conley and Naz Reid each scored 15 points.
