Trending news and updates about the Spurs
The Western Conference Semifinals between the Spurs and the Timberwolves keeps providing memorable matchups. On Sunday, Victor Wembanyama’s first-half ejection threatened to create a throwaway game, but the Silver and Black responded without their best player and battled to the very end before losing a heartbreaker, 114-109. The series will move back to San Antonio […]

Sunday evening’s Game 4 in Minneapolis did not go as planned for the San Antonio Spurs. With 8:39 left in the second quarter, Wemby was ejected when his right elbow hit Reid’s throat. Forgetting for a second that, had it been any other player, the elbow would have landed on Reid’s chest, the foul represents a […]
You know the drill, this is part four of our “Fraternizing with the Enemy” Series with our Spurs sister site, Pounding the Rock. I am joined by the ever-encouraging JR Wilco to discuss the things we saw in Game 3’s close loss and to set expectations for a critical Game 4 after back to back […]
What did Sunday night’s Game 5 win take for the Minnesota Timberwolves? “Some heart,” Rudy Gobert said to the Target Center crowd after the madness had ended. Where do we even start? Perhaps the part where this should have been less close than it ended up as, with a sharp elbow to the face? With […]
What a game! I kind of inexplicably blacked out 12 minutes into the game and gained consciousness a few moments later to watch the rest of the entertaining wrestling match/basketball game trying to piece together what happened like in the movie Memento. You, fellow readers, get the pleasure of going with me on this journey […]
On this Mother’s Day (call your mom!), the second round of the 2026 NBA Playoffs continues with the Knicks looking to sweep the 76ers in Philly and the Spurs and Wolves dueling in Minnesota. Let’s discuss here! As with all of our game threads (and every post), be cool, be reasonable, and don’t say anything […]
Here’s the fourth installment of the second round’s Fraterniz With The Enemy, my ongoing, series-long conversation with Thilo of PtR’s sister site covering the Minnesota Timberwolves, Canis Hoopus. J.R. Wilco In the middle of a series that feels like a movie from a director intent on subverting expectations above all else, Game 3 was a […]
Early in the second quarter tonight, Victor Wembanyama, who was being manhandled by multiple players every time he entered the game, tried to spin his way out of a double bear hug from a couple of Wolves, and caught Naz Reid hard on the neck with an elbow. The referees called this a flagrant foul […]

Happy Mother’s Day! I realize today is Game 4 and there are options for discussion, but for now, let’s be grateful for those women who enrich our lives. Whether it’s your mother, or the mother of your children, or that nurturing aunt or neighbor, this is a great day to reach out and remind that […]
The lead never felt comfortable. It was weird. Ungainly. 7-1. Unsightly. 9-1. The offense was ugly. Stilted. 11-1. We were making more shots than the Wolves, sure, but that felt like a technicality. 14-1. Keldon hit a three. We still looked off. There were five minutes left in the first quarter and the Wolves had […]
The San Antonio Spurs once again reclaimed home-court advantage by winning their first road game of the Western Conference Semifinals. It was a tightly contested battle that came down to fourth-quarter heroics. Victor Wembanyama had the best playoff game of his young career, putting up 39 points, 15 rebounds, and 5 blocks on the way […]

I will attempt to refrain from commenting too much on the play that defined last night’s game and will instead try to focus on the optimistic fact that this young and inexperienced Spurs team very nearly scored a road playoff win against a very good (and extremely desperate) opponent without the support of their best […]
WOW. I must admit, I did my level-best to enter this game with muted expectations, as I was concerned that the Spurs could be feeling a bit overconfident after their dominant Game 2 win. Furthermore, I felt that Minnesota might be the more desperate and motivated team, as a Game 3 win for them would […]

Anissa McLaughlin, wife of San Antonio Spurs guard Jordan McLaughlin, recently visited KSAT 12 to discuss how her and the family have embraced San Antonio. “We love it here.

In Round One of the NBA playoffs, the San Antonio Spurs lost home-court advantage to the Portland Trail Blazers, and then won two road games to take a 3-1 lead. Now the Spurs find themselves in a similar situation, with the chance to go up 3-1 on the Minnesota Timberwolves before heading back to San […]
Coming off a blowout win in Game 2, the San Antonio Spurs traveled to the Target Center to take on the Minnesota Timberwolves for Game 3. The Spurs started the game with lockdown defense, limiting the Wolves to just one point in the first six minutes. After going up by 15, the Wolves, led by […]
The noise inside Target Center swelled with every passing minute Friday night, the kind of playoff atmosphere designed to rattle inexperienced teams. Anthony Edwards started for the first time since he returned from a knee injury he suffered in the second round against the Denver Nuggets and every basket he scored sent the crowd into […]
The New York Knicks and Philadelphia 76ers will resume their best-of-seven Eastern Conference NBA Playoffs series this evening. New York leads the series 2-0 but there’s some doubt whether OG Anunoby will suit up for them in Game 3 due to a hamstring strain. On the other side of The Association, Minnesota Timberwolves will tangle […]
History is on the side of the San Antonio Spurs. In a 7 games series, when tied 1-1, the winner of Game 3 goes on the win the series 73% of the time. In Game 1, Anthony Edwards came off the bench. After a rapid recovery from a knee hyperextension he gave the Timberwolves a […]
Hold on, I need to start this out with a pep talk to myself. Deep breaths. This is a safe space. We are among a few thousand of your closest friends. Even considering this will break your heart and brain and could quite possibly traumatize many others. But you are supposed to be a quasi-objective […]
