On Friday night, the Spurs put on a clinic in Game 6 of the Western Conference Semifinals sending the Minnesota Timberwolves into the summer break. Although the Spurs win was wire to wire, Minnesota made a few pushes throughout the match. However, by the 8-minute mark of the 4th quarter Timberwolves head coach Chris Finch […]
I was seven years old when my father first taught me how to play blackjack. Whether that is a particularly normal thing to teach a child of that age is perhaps a conversation for another time, but it is, for me, a formative and happy childhood memory. Having spent the better part of a week […]
The San Antonio Spurs are 2-0 in elimination games this postseason. The Silver and Black smacked the Minnesota Timberwolves 139-109 in Game 6 to secure a spot in the Western Conference Finals for the first time since 2017. In a series that felt incredibly close through all six games, the Spurs won three games by […]

And just like that, it’s over. The Minnesota Timberwolves came into Game 6 of their Western Conference Semifinal series against the San Antonio Spurs to replicate their series from two years ago against the Denver Nuggets and force Game 7. Instead, they repeated a different kind of history. For the third straight year, the Timberwolves’ […]

It’s a big night for NBA basketball, with two pivotal Playoff matchups on the slate. First, the Detroit Pistons will try to force a Game 7 against the Cleveland Cavaliers on the road. Then, the Minnesota Timberwolves will take the floor in Minneapolis and attempt to push the San Antonio Spurs to Game 7. Here’s […]
Minnesota Timberwolves vs. San Antonio SpursDate: May 15th, 2026Time: 8:30 PM CDTLocation: Target CenterTelevision Coverage: Prime Video The Minnesota Timberwolves are out of runway. After dropping Game 5 in San Antonio in embarrassing fashion, the Wolves now find themselves down 3-2, wounded, staring at elimination, and trying to convince themselves that the season still has […]
Chatting with a Timberwolves expert through this series has been a blast, and this might be the last Fraternizing with the Enemy post I get with Thilo this season. But nothing has been decided yet, so we talk though the rising and falling players, and the potential for lineup changes in Game 6. J.R. Wilco […]
The NBA released two schedules for the Western Conference Finals- one of the Spurs/Timberwolves series ends on Friday at the conclusion of Game 6, another if the series heads back to San Antonio for Game 7. If the Spurs close out the series tonight in Minnesota, they’ll head to Oklahoma City to play Game 1 […]
After a dominant victory in Game Five, the San Antonio Spurs will head to Minnesota with a chance to clinch a spot in the Western Conference Finals. In case you’re looking for even more drama than an elimination game, it will be the first time Victor Wembanyama has played in the Target Center since he […]
The Spurs have outscored the Timberwolves by 67 total points this series. Do you think that if the Wembanyama ejection hadn’t happened, the series would be over? Marilyn Dubinski: It’s certainly possible. It’s also possible it would be over if either Wemby or De’Aaron Fox showed up offensively in Game 1, but neither is a […]
The 2026 NBA Playoffs have a quiet day today. Only two series remain active, both of which will resume tomorrow. The San Antonio Spurs lead the Minnesota Timberwolves 3-2 in the Western Conference. The Cleveland Cavaliers lead the Detroit Pistons by the same margin in the East. Meanwhile the New York Knicks and Oklahoma City […]
The Minnesota Timberwolves are on the brink of elimination after a 126-97 loss to the San Antonio Spurs in Game 5 of their Western Conference semifinal series at the Frost Bank Center. The Wolves now trail 3-2 in the series and have lost their second game of the series by over 25 points. Some teams […]
The San Antonio Spurs second-round matchup with the Minnesota Timberwolves has been incredibly close. Not many people would argue that point. It’s funny that despite how close the series has felt, two of the Spurs’ three wins have been by 20+ points. San Antonio handled the Wolves at home in a 126-97 victory to take […]

Coming off a tough loss against the Minnesota Timberwolves this past Sunday, the Spurs returned to the Frost Bank Center for Game 5 of the Western Conference Semifinals. With the series tied at 2-2, the winner of this game would dramatically increase their chances of winning the series. After having an early ejection in Game […]
Aside from an increasingly irritating stretch of play that ran from roughly three minutes into the second quarter through the first five minutes of the third (during which the Spurs’ 18-point lead evaporated to zero), this game was exactly the tonic I was hoping for. First, Wemby’s return was triumphant, which provided a much needed […]
The Minnesota Timberwolves entered Game 5 in San Antonio with a chance to retake control of their Western Conference Semifinals series. A win would have snatched back home-court advantage, put the Spurs on the brink of elimination, and set up a Friday night closeout opportunity at Target Center. Unfortunately, none of that happened. Instead, Minnesota […]
Three down and one more to go until the Western Conference Finals. Victor Wembanyama made amends for getting ejected two nights earlier with his rampage in the pivotal fifth game of the series against Minnesota. The team’s 3-point shooting also helped them race out to an early lead and control of the boards assisted in […]

The Spurs will have Victor Wembanyama back for a pivotal Game 5 against the Minnesota Timberwolves after he avoided suspension for a Game 4 flagrant foul, but the Spurs’ guard rotation could be shorthanded. De’Aaron Fox was already listed as questionable on yesterday’s injury report with a sore ankle after Ayo Dosunmo rolled up on […]
