Timberwolves Defeat Spurs, Improving to 14-11

The San Antonio Spurs struggled offensively against the Minnesota Timberwolves, losing 106-92, with a notable performance by Victor Wembanyama as a rim protector despite his poor shooting. Wembanyama was inefficient, scoring only one three-pointer and committing four turnovers, while Paul contributed defensively but failed to score in 30 minutes. Meanwhile, the Denver Nuggets edged out the Sacramento Kings 130-129, featuring Jamal Murray's clutch jumper and Nikola Jokic's tenth triple-double of the season, as both teams exchanged leads in a thrilling finish. The Kings' Domantas Sabonis and De'Aaron Fox had strong games, but their efforts fell short against Denver's physical play. Additionally, the Brooklyn Nets are looking to fill the void left by Dennis Schroder's absence, with Cam Johnson emphasizing a collective approach to ball-handling and playmaking. The Nets recently faced a defeat against the Cavaliers, losing 130-101, as they adapt to the changes in their lineup.
