The Minnesota Timberwolves edged the San Antonio Spurs 104–103 on January 11 at Target Center in a defensive struggle that fell well short of the Vegas total of 233.5 points. Anthony Edwards led the Wolves with 23 points, while Donte DiVincenzo added 19 in a balanced scoring attack. San Antonio's Victor Wembanyama countered with a game-high 29 points, supported by Keldon Johnson's 15. Minnesota's fourth-quarter surge proved decisive—the Timberwolves outscored the Spurs 33–18 in the final frame to secure the one-point victory despite shooting just 43.3 percent from the field. The Spurs' poor ball security, with 14 turnovers compared to Minnesota's nine, proved costly down the stretch. Minnesota made 12 three-pointers and held San Antonio to 38.6 percent shooting while generating a 106.1 offensive rating versus the Spurs' 100.0. The Wolves' defensive rating of 100.0 clamped down when it mattered most, holding the higher-seeded Spurs under 105 points. This narrow road victory strengthens Minnesota's playoff positioning in a tight Western Conference race.
