Spurs Dominate Minnesota in Texas
The Spurs' suffocating defense, allowing just 98.7 points per game this season, will be too much for the Timberwolves. Look for San Antonio to control the tempo throughout, forcing Minnesota into difficult possessions. The key matchup will be Kawhi Leonard on Andrew Wiggins, a battle the Spurs' leading scorer will likely win.
San Antonio has been virtually unbeatable at home, boasting a 39-2 record at the AT&T Center. Minnesota, meanwhile, has struggled on the road, winning only 18 of their 41 away games. Expect the Spurs' veteran savvy and championship pedigree to shine through.
My prediction: Spurs 115, Timberwolves 98.
