SAN ANTONIO (AP) — Victor Wembanyama brilló con 39 puntos y capturó nueve rebotes, además de atrapar un rebote ofensivo crucial en los últimos segundos, lo que permitió a los Spurs de San Antonio superar el sábado 126-123 a los Timberwolves de Minnesota.

Sunday was a battle between two of the Western Conference's best teams.

The Spurs took advantage of no Rudy Gobert, who was out with a bruised hip, by attacking the paint for 8 of their first 9 points, but ultimately neither team could find much offense early, with the score sitting at just 10-9 Spurs after six minutes.
