The Western Conference semifinals continue; the Spurs and Timberwolves left San Antonio with one game apiece. Only the Spurs showed up for Game 2 and routed the Timberwolves, winning 133-95. Wembanyama recorded 19 points and 15 rebounds, and it was, in fact, Minnesota's largest margin of defeat in franchise playoff history.

"We got punked," said Timberwolves coach Chris Finch. The team's star, Anthony Edwards, went a step further in self-criticism. He went 5-for-13 shooting and said the Spurs "were the more desperate team." They wanted it."

Although the Spurs lost a key game, the first of the series, in which they were 11.5-point favorites in the pregame standings, their outstanding performance in the second game could set the tone for the rest of the series. For the Spurs, this was the second-largest margin of victory in team playoff history. The last time something similar happened was in 1983.

Our Minnesota Timberwolves vs San Antonio Spurs Prediction

Wembanyama and Fox combined to go 12-for-25 from the field; between them, they scored the team's first 11 points in Game 2. Fox recovered from beyond the arc, connecting on both of his three-point attempts. In Game 2, Minnesota scored 35 points in the first half.

It will be interesting to see what happens, and although the series is tied 1-1, the Spurs made a real statement, highlighting the weaknesses of the Timberwolves, who played with Edwards limited in minutes due to recent injuries. San Antonio should take Game 3.

Our prediction for Timberwolves vs Spurs is: Timberwolves -4.5.

Prediction:

 

Timberwolves -4.5.
