Latest news and updates about the Spurs
It’s a big night for NBA basketball, with two pivotal Playoff matchups on the slate. First, the Detroit Pistons will try to force a Game 7 against the Cleveland Cavaliers on the road. Then, the Minnesota Timberwolves will take the floor in Minneapolis and attempt to push the San Antonio Spurs to Game 7. Here’s […]
I am joined by Pounding the Rock’s (our Spurs sister site) JR Wilco for yet another parlay about the series as it continues. With the Spurs now up 3-2, on the verge of closing out a competitive second round matchup, much of our conversation shifted to if this series is about to end, or if […]
Minnesota Timberwolves vs. San Antonio SpursDate: May 15th, 2026Time: 8:30 PM CDTLocation: Target CenterTelevision Coverage: Prime Video The Minnesota Timberwolves are out of runway. After dropping Game 5 in San Antonio in embarrassing fashion, the Wolves now find themselves down 3-2, wounded, staring at elimination, and trying to convince themselves that the season still has […]
Chatting with a Timberwolves expert through this series has been a blast, and this might be the last Fraternizing with the Enemy post I get with Thilo this season. But nothing has been decided yet, so we talk though the rising and falling players, and the potential for lineup changes in Game 6. J.R. Wilco […]
The NBA released two schedules for the Western Conference Finals- one of the Spurs/Timberwolves series ends on Friday at the conclusion of Game 6, another if the series heads back to San Antonio for Game 7. If the Spurs close out the series tonight in Minnesota, they’ll head to Oklahoma City to play Game 1 […]
After a dominant victory in Game Five, the San Antonio Spurs will head to Minnesota with a chance to clinch a spot in the Western Conference Finals. In case you’re looking for even more drama than an elimination game, it will be the first time Victor Wembanyama has played in the Target Center since he […]
The Spurs have outscored the Timberwolves by 67 total points this series. Do you think that if the Wembanyama ejection hadn’t happened, the series would be over? Marilyn Dubinski: It’s certainly possible. It’s also possible it would be over if either Wemby or De’Aaron Fox showed up offensively in Game 1, but neither is a […]
The 2026 NBA Playoffs have a quiet day today. Only two series remain active, both of which will resume tomorrow. The San Antonio Spurs lead the Minnesota Timberwolves 3-2 in the Western Conference. The Cleveland Cavaliers lead the Detroit Pistons by the same margin in the East. Meanwhile the New York Knicks and Oklahoma City […]
The second round of the 2026 NBA Playoffs has been … interesting. On one hand, there’s been two yawner series, with the Thunder comfortably (albeit not dominantly) sweeping the short-handed Lakers, while the Knicks swept a tired, limping 76ers team in the East. On the other, you have two thrilling (but not “beautiful”) series heading […]
On any given night, there are statistics that reinforce the reality that this San Antonio Spurs team is special. In particular, Dylan Harper, the Spurs star rookie, continues to impress coming off the bench for the Silver & Black. Harper has the best fourth quarter field goal percentage in these playoffs. Better than the legendary […]
The Minnesota Timberwolves are on the brink of elimination after a 126-97 loss to the San Antonio Spurs in Game 5 of their Western Conference semifinal series at the Frost Bank Center. The Wolves now trail 3-2 in the series and have lost their second game of the series by over 25 points. Some teams […]
The San Antonio Spurs second-round matchup with the Minnesota Timberwolves has been incredibly close. Not many people would argue that point. It’s funny that despite how close the series has felt, two of the Spurs’ three wins have been by 20+ points. San Antonio handled the Wolves at home in a 126-97 victory to take […]

Coming off a tough loss against the Minnesota Timberwolves this past Sunday, the Spurs returned to the Frost Bank Center for Game 5 of the Western Conference Semifinals. With the series tied at 2-2, the winner of this game would dramatically increase their chances of winning the series. After having an early ejection in Game […]
I’ve spent most of this current playoff run trying to reacclimate to this environment. I should be used to this, right? I’m a veteran Spurs fan. This is a franchise that made the playoffs for 22 consecutive years. They didn’t just make the playoffs, they made deep runs. Battles. Marathons. Titles. Heartbreak. We have, collectively, […]
Aside from an increasingly irritating stretch of play that ran from roughly three minutes into the second quarter through the first five minutes of the third (during which the Spurs’ 18-point lead evaporated to zero), this game was exactly the tonic I was hoping for. First, Wemby’s return was triumphant, which provided a much needed […]
The postseason has been tough for Keldon Johnson. Ever since winning NBA Sixth Man of the Year, he’s struggled to maintain the vitality that earned him the league honor. This season the Spurs had seven players average scoring in double figures. *Harrison Barnes was 5 points from the Spurs having eight players in double figs, […]
The Minnesota Timberwolves entered Game 5 in San Antonio with a chance to retake control of their Western Conference Semifinals series. A win would have snatched back home-court advantage, put the Spurs on the brink of elimination, and set up a Friday night closeout opportunity at Target Center. Unfortunately, none of that happened. Instead, Minnesota […]
Three down and one more to go until the Western Conference Finals. Victor Wembanyama made amends for getting ejected two nights earlier with his rampage in the pivotal fifth game of the series against Minnesota. The team’s 3-point shooting also helped them race out to an early lead and control of the boards assisted in […]

The Spurs will have Victor Wembanyama back for a pivotal Game 5 against the Minnesota Timberwolves after he avoided suspension for a Game 4 flagrant foul, but the Spurs’ guard rotation could be shorthanded. De’Aaron Fox was already listed as questionable on yesterday’s injury report with a sore ankle after Ayo Dosunmo rolled up on […]
The 2026 NBA Playoffs schedule features just one game today, a matchup between the San Antonio Spurs and Minnesota Timberwolves. NBA Santa left coal in San Antonio’s stocking on Sunday. Instead of their usual Top-4 pick in the league’s annual Spursmas celebration (a.k.a. the NBA Draft Lottery), the club got an ejection for star center […]
