Teams Preview

Minnesota Timberwolves

The Minnesota Timberwolves made a solid start to the conference semifinals with a narrow win over the Spurs but suffered a blowout defeat in Game 2. The 38-point loss will shift all the pressure on the Timberwolves, who knocked out the 2023 champions in the first round. Minnesota lost the game in the first half only when they conceded a 24-point lead. The Spurs stretched it to a game-high 47 points. 

Minnesota are back to their fortress for Game 3 and 4 where they can change the narrative of the series. The Wolves can move to 3-1 in the series or face a similar fate against them. The Wolves are chasing the conference finals for the second straight year. Minnesota beat the Spurs three out of five times in the ongoing season. They didn’t drop a home game this season. They are 5-3 in the playoffs this year. The Wolves averaged 110.7 points per game in the regular season and allowed 100.7 points per game during the playoffs. 

Minnesota locked horns against San Antonio twice in the playoffs series (1999 and 2001). On both occasions, the Spurs had the last laugh. The Wolves are 2-8 record against the Spurs in the NBA playoffs. Meanwhile, they never lost a semifinal series in the NBA playoffs. Anthony Edwards could be a player to watch out for. The 24-year-old star averaged 28.8 points in the regular season. We back him to score 20 or more points in this game. 

San Antonio Spurs

The San Antonio Spurs are back to their goals as they bounced back and won Game 2 133-95 against the Wolves. The blowout victory will surely raise their confidence for the upcoming road game. They tied the series 1-1. This victory will give them a psychological advantage in the upcoming game. They outscored Minnesota 35-18 in the second quarter and it proved decisive. They allowed less than 100 points per game during the playoffs. This is the reason why they are the best defensive side of the NBA this season. 

San Antonio will travel to Minneapolis for Game 3 of the Western Conference semifinals against the Minnesota Timberwolves. The Spurs are 2-0 on the road in the playoffs this season. They averaged 113.9 points per game (third-best) and allowed 99.9 points per game (second-best) in the playoffs. They ranked third in the field goals (48.2%). San Antonio won their first playoff game in the conference semifinals for the first time since 2017. This season, they went 62-20 in the West which was their best run since 2017. 

San Antonio are chasing the sixth NBA title. They  last won the NBA title in 2014. It was also their first victory over the Timberwolves in the playoffs since 2001. The hosts defeated Minnesota two out of two times in the playoffs series. If we look for the offensive threat, Victor Wembanyama is the right pick. The Frenchman gives a different edge with his defense quality. He averaged 19.0 points and 9.8 rebounds in the playoffs. We back him to score 15 or more points in the home fixture.
