Spurs Rout Timberwolves 139-109 to Clinch West Finals Berth

The win sends San Antonio to its first West finals since 2017 against top-seeded Oklahoma City.

Overview

  • The 30-point victory in Minneapolis on Friday closed the series 4-2 and set up a matchup with the Thunder, who hold home-court advantage.
  • Rookie guard Stephon Castle led the Spurs with 32 points and 11 rebounds, and Victor Wembanyama added 19 points in 27 minutes.
  • Anthony Edwards finished with 24 points on 9-for-26 shooting as Minnesota again struggled against San Antonio’s switch-heavy defense.
  • Minnesota lacked Donte DiVincenzo after Achilles surgery, while Terrence Shannon Jr. was available and reports said Edwards was not at full strength.
  • Game 6 streamed only on Amazon Prime Video, reflecting the NBA’s move to place some playoff games on streaming rather than traditional TV channels.
