G A M E D A Y: Spurs (9-5) at TWolves (8-5), Nov 15, 7PM Central

WHERE: Target Center, Minneapolis, MN
TV: FOX Sports Southwest, FOX Sports North
VEGAS: O/U 209.5, TWolves -5


The win against Dallas was great but expected; the much-improved TWolves will be a much bigger handful. Containing their perimeter scoring and wing penetration will be essential, as will trying to slow leading scorer Karl-Anthony Towns (21.2ppg) in the post.

We may have a welcome bit of added depth for the latter issue, as Joffrey Lauvergne only played five minutes in Dallas after sitting the previous 10 games (ankle). Leonard and Parker remain out for the good guys, and center Gorgui Dieng (day-to-day, sprained finger) is Minny's lone notable injury concern.

We've beaten them once this season but this is a different team than the one we seen early on in the season. They're starting to gel and they are dangerous.

Missed this one. But from the highlights it looks like it was a rough one. LMA getting into foul trouble really really hurt us.
