Spurs routs Timberwolves to Lead the Series 3 – 2

May 13, 2026

Raul Dominguez, reporting for Associated Press and published on NBA.COM;

Victor Wembanyama atoned for his first career ejection with another huge performance, finishing with 27 points, 17 rebounds, five assists and three blocks as the San Antonio Spurs beat the Minnesota Timberwolves 126-97 on Tuesday night to take a 3-2 lead in their second-round series.

The two wins by the Timberwolves prove that they can only win this series if they can stop Wemby from playing, which is what happened in Game 1 and Game 4.

Even without Wembanyama, Minnesota’s win felt more like a war than a walk in the park. It is a testament to how deep the Spurs are.

Game highlights;

Game 5 will be back in Minnesota, where the Timberwolves will look to tie the series and the Spurs will look to advance to the Western Conference Finals, where OKC is waiting for them.

Spurs Blows Out Wolves to even series (133 – 95)

May 7, 2026

Ben Lambert, reporting for NBA.Com;

A dominant performance from San Antonio.

Stephon Castle (21 pts) led six Spurs in double figures. They were in control from the early minutes, holding the Timberwolves to 38.8% shooting.

โ€œWe donโ€™t care (about their experience advantage),โ€ said Victor Wembanyama (19 pts, 15 reb, 1 stl, 2 blk).

San Antonio earned a 58-36 advantage in points in the paint and outran the Wolves for a 29-5 margin in fast break points.

Minnesota turned the ball over 22 times โ€” thatโ€™s tied for the second-most they committed this season.

As expected, the Spurs made sure Game 2 went in their favor; Iโ€™m certain the Game 1 loss left a bad taste in their mouths.

The series now shifts to Minnesota for Games 3 and 4; the Spurs have yet to secure a win at the Target Center during the 2025โ€“2026 season.

Game 3 will be this Friday evening.
