Timberwolves vs. Spurs Game 1 Showdown: Can Underdogs Shock the NBA Playoffs on May 4?
The Timberwolves and Spurs meet tonight in San Antonio for Game 1 of their Western Conference semifinal series. The Timberwolves are short-handed without question while the young Spurs are finding their playoff footing.
Minnesota comes into this matchup after eliminating Denver in six games, capped by a 110–98 win in which Jaden McDaniels posted 32 points and 10 rebounds. Terrence Shannon Jr. added 24 but the reason Shannon is getting that run is because thei Timberwolves’ backcourt has been decimated by injuries. Anthony Edwards (knee) and Ayo Dosunmu (calf) are both listed as questionable, while Donte DiVincenzo (Achilles) is out, leaving Minnesota reliant on Julius Randle and Rudy Gobert to anchor both ends of the floor. Their defense carried them in the First Round as Gobert slowed Nikola Jokic and a combination of players shut down Jamal Murray.
