The San Antonio Spurs are back to home arena for the decisive Game 5 against the Timberwolves. They suffered a 109-114 defeat in Game 4 and the series is now tied 2-2. The Spurs will play two home games out of the remaining three. San Antonio were outscored 24-35 in the final quarter and the Wolves denied a 3-1 deficit. The blowout victory in Game 2 gave them momentum but Minnesota survived in the home game. The Spurs will now host the Timberwolves in the most-important clash of the series.
Surely, San Antonio will have a psychological advantage over Minnesota in the upcoming game. However, the Wolves defeated them in the previous home game. Meanwhile, they handed Minnesota a blowout defeat in their previous home game. San Antonio allowed less than 100 points per game during the playoffs. A 16-4 surge in the middle of the fourth quarter assured a comeback for the Wolves in the last game. The Spurs averaged 113.4 points per game (third-best) and allowed 102.3 points per game (fourth-best) in the playoffs.
San Antonio are ranked third in the field goals (47.8%). The hosts were led by D’Aaron Fox and Dylan Harper with 24 points. They posted a 62-20 in the Western Conference this season. San Antonio are chasing title glory this year to end the drought in 12 years. If we look for the offensive threat, Victor Wembanyama is the right pick. The Frenchman showed his fire during Game 3. He averaged 21.9 points and 11.3 rebounds in the playoffs. We back him to score 15 or more points in the home fixture.
The Minnesota Timberwolves are known for the comebacks and they proved it in Game 4 by tying the series. The Wolves made a 16-4 run in the fourth quarter to take the crucial game. This victory was important in the context of the series. A 3-1 deficit would have been an elimination mark for them. The series is now tied 2-2 and Minnesota can carry the advantage in the upcoming road game. If they pull of a win here, the Wolves can aim for a series victory at home in Game 6.
Minnesota can either make it 3-2 in their favour or face a 3-2 deficit ahead of the final home game. They qualified into the conference finals last year. They have a 4-3 record against the Spurs in the ongoing season. They have beaten San Antonio on the road in the opening game of this series. The visitors are currently 6-4 in the playoffs this year. They averaged 109.3 points per game and allowed 110.4 points per game during the playoffs.
Minnesota have to change the fact that they never beat San Antonio in the NBA playoffs series. Meanwhile, they never dropped a conference semifinal series in the history of the playoffs. The Wolves have a 3-9 record against the Spurs in the playoffs. Anthony Edwards could be a player to watch out for. The 24-year-old star averaged 28.8 points in the regular season and 21.5 points in the playoffs. We back him to score 20 or more points in this game.
