In a tightly contested May 12 matchup, the Minnesota Timberwolves edged the San Antonio Spurs by a single point, finishing 112‑111 after a flurry of late free throws. Jaden McDaniels sank both foul shots in the final minute, pushing the Wolves ahead. Lead changes kept fans on edge throughout.

Coaches shuffled lineups as the clock wound down, with Ayo Dosunmu replacing Rudy Gobert and veteran Mike Conley stepping in for Terrence Shannon Jr. De’Aaron Fox also entered for Luke Kornet, signaling Minnesota’s intent to secure the win. Spurs forward Devin Vassell drew a shooting foul, but his attempts failed to close the gap. Both teams fought fiercely until.

The narrow victory improves the Wolves’ standing in the Western race, keeping them within striking distance of a playoff seed, while the Spurs slip further behind the cut line. With injury reports still unavailable, both clubs will likely assess roster health before the final stretch. The game’s one‑point margin underscores how every possession will count in the closing weeks.
