The Timberwolves are coming into this game playing very well in their recent games. They have won 7 of their last 8 games and they have been smashing a lot of bad teams in that span by double digits. They are going up against a Spurs team that does fall under that category as they have been awful this season and they have even lost 2 of their last 3 games, with losses coming to the Pacers and the Raptors who are not really top teams in the NBA. The Timberwolves recently lost to the Magic though but that has been their only loss in their last 8 games. They were even missing some of their starters in that game but they should all be back healthy for this game and the Timberwolves are a very dangerous team when they are healthy. The Spurs have struggled all season and the Timberwolves are currently a playoff team this season with where they are sitting. This part of the season is crunch time for them and they will be trying to win every game they possibly can so they will come prepared for this game knowing they are the better team here. The Timberwolves are going to keep on heating up in their games and win this one by double digits.

"We felt like even though we were down by 12 (at halftime), it didn't feel like we were down 12. We felt like it was a much closer game and we just had to come out with a good start, with great purpose." - Chris Finch on his team’s win against the Heat on Saturday night.

 

 

"I think we worked hard, but we weren't really that sharp. We didn't shoot very well." - Greg Popovich on his team’s loss against the Pacers on Saturday night.
