Victor Wembanyama posted 19 points and 15 rebounds as San Antonio erased a 38‑point first‑half hole to beat Minnesota 133‑95, tying the Western Conference semifinal at one‑game apiece. Stephon Castle added 21 points, while De’Aaron Fox contributed 16 and the Spurs shot 50% from the floor and 41% from three. The margin eclipses the Timberwolves’ previous postseason worst, a 30‑point loss in 2003.

Minnesota’s offense sputtered, managing just 35 points before halftime and shooting under 30% overall. Anthony Edwards, returning from a hyper‑extended knee, was limited to 12 points off the bench, as were Julius Randle, Jaden McDaniels and Terrence Shannon Jr. Each scored 12, highlighting the Wolves’ collective struggle to generate scoring options. Their shooting woes forced Minnesota into a 20‑turnover night, further widening the gap.

The victory marks San Antonio’s most prolific playoff output since a 145‑105 win over Denver in 1983, and it ends the Spurs’ recent streak of back‑to‑back defeats dating back to mid‑January. With both teams sending starters to the bench late in the game, the win underscores the Spurs’ ability to adjust offensively and puts pressure on Minnesota to respond in Games 3 and 4 in Minneapolis.
