The game never felt comfortable. Not for a second. Every possession was a fight. Every shot was earned. And by the time the final seconds ticked away Monday night, the difference between the San Antonio Spurs and the Minnesota Timberwolves came down to a single shot that wouldn’t fall. San Antonio opened its Western Conference semifinal series with a […]
The good thing about a defensive battle is that it provides some incredibly compelling basketball, where every shot must be earned, and every make has been fought for. The bad thing about a defensive battle is that sometimes no one makes a shot for five minutes at a time, and you can feel the life […]
After seven days off since beating the Trail Blazers in Game 5 of the first round, the San Antonio Spurs opened Round 2 against an injured but pesky Minnesota Timberwolves squad that gave them trouble in the regular season.

The Twins managed to finish the week with a win, splitting a four-game series with the reigning AL Pennant winner, the Toronto Blue Jays. Unfortunately, both Joe Ryan, Cole Sands, Emmanuel Rodriguez, and Walker Jenkins were the new additions to the injury report this week.

It’s been seven days since the Spurs vanquished the Portland Trail Blazers in Round 1 of the 2026 NBA Playoffs, and now, it’s finally gameday again.

Minnesota Timberwolves at San Antonio SpursDate: May 4th, 2026Time: 8:30 PM CDTLocation: Frost Bank CenterTelevision Coverage: Peacock, NBS Sports Network After vanquishing the Denver Nuggets for the second time in three postseasons, the Minnesota Timberwolves now find themselves staring at an entirely different kind of monster. That’s not hyperbole. That’s just what happens when the […]
That's Wild Well, that was certainly a hockey game. The Minnesota Wild come back from multiple multi-goal deficits but it was not enough as the Colorado Avalanche just kept pouring it on to win Game 1 of the second round by a score of 9-6. It is almost inconceivable to think of a team that w...
While the Eastern Conference gave us three game sevens in round one, the West gave us no such drama. Oklahoma City and San Antonio moved on with ease, and Los Angeles and Minnesota won their game sixes by sizeable margins. Unfortunately for the viewer, the Lakers and Timberwolves are missing their best players as they […]

Iowa Cubs The Iowa Cubs were cast out by the St. Paul Saints (Twins), 8-7. Jordan Wicks had a rough start in a rehab assignment. He took the loss after giving up six runs on nine hits over 3.2 innings. The positive news is that he struck out four and walked just one and 50 […]
The Spurs will host the Timberwolves in Game 1 of the Western Conference semifinals on Monday as heavy favorites despite the uncertainty surrounding Anthony Edwards’ status. Even if the injured superstar guard returns, he’ll likely be limited by two knee injuries, so San Antonio is expected to win this series, as long as they play […]
Anthony Edwards might not miss much of the Timberwolves’ series against the Spurs, per reports. He had been making progress and was initially likely to suit up in Game 3 or Game 4, according to ESPN’s Sham Charania. Apparently, his return could come earlier than that, as he has been listed as questionable for Game […]
Blue Jays 3 Twins 4 That was irritating. Joe Ryan left the game with a sore elbow after walking the second batter and we had to think we had a good chance. But no. Trey Yesavage wasn’t good, but then only gave up one run. In four innings he allowed five hits, three walks and […]
The Twins sent Joe Ryan to the bump this morning—the Peacock MLB Sunday Wakeup special—hoping for a series split. He lasted all of two batters before leaving with an undisclosed injury. It would be an unexpected bullpen game featuring the worst pen in baseball. My thoughts at the exact moment: how many innings will Kody […]
