The Timberwolves pulled off an incredible comeback against the Spurs. They were down by 19 points early in the third quarter. But they fought back and won 104-103. Anthony Edwards was the hero. He scored 23 points and made the game-winning shot. Julius Randle also played a big role. He had 15 points and eight rebounds. He also stopped Victor Wembanyama on a key defensive play. Wembanyama had a great game too. He scored 29 points in just 27 minutes. He also had seven rebounds and three steals. But he couldn't stop the Timberwolves' comeback. De'Aaron Fox tried a last-second three-pointer, but it missed. The crowd went wild after that.
The Timberwolves have been playing well lately. They are 16-6 since Thanksgiving. They were without their head coach, Chris Finch, who was sick. Assistant coach Micah Nori led the team instead. The Spurs will play in Oklahoma City next. The Timberwolves will play in Milwaukee next. The game was exciting and close. Both teams played hard. The Timberwolves showed great teamwork. They never gave up, even when they were down big. The Spurs fought back, but it wasn't enough. It was a great game to watch.
