Three takeaways from the Spurs’ thrilling upset of the Timberwolves:
1, Keldon Johnson’s energy helped push them over the top.
2, Victor Wembanyama passed the back-to-back test with flying colors.
3, Give the Coyote some hazard pay and a bigger net.

Wemby said he felt “pretty well” after playing his 1st b2b since mid-Nov. Asked if his minutes restriction will be lifted, he said, “It’s something we need to watch for the next 15, 20, 30 games. So we’re going to see. I’m probably not going to play 45 minutes anytime soon.” – 11:51 PM

Wemby is enjoying a lengthy visit with Rudy Gobert outside the Spurs locker room. Victor said he always likes facing his fellow Frenchman because “of his status in the league as one of the best, if not the best defender.” – 11:47 PM

Spurs come back from 15 down to topple the first-place Timberwolves.
They hold on the final possession and a KAT 3 is no good.

Shortly after Wemby hits a 3, a bat emerges on the court. They Coyote is chasing it dressed as batman, so I guess they knew it was floating around.
And just like that he bagged it – without Manu’s help – and received a big hug from Vassell and a standing ovation from the crowd. – 8:43 PM
