Thu Mar 13 02:50:00 UTC 2025: ## Timberwolves Roll Past Spurs, Extend Winning Streak to Five
**MINNEAPOLIS (AP)** — The Minnesota Timberwolves cruised to a dominant 141-124 victory over the San Antonio Spurs on Sunday night, extending their winning streak to five games and setting a new season-high point total. Anthony Edwards led the scoring charge with 25 points, while a balanced offensive attack saw eight Timberwolves players reach double digits.
Naz Reid contributed 20 points and seven rebounds, and Julius Randle added a near triple-double with 14 points, 10 assists, and seven rebounds. The team’s impressive performance included a season-high 38 assists and 21 three-pointers, showcasing their exceptional ball movement and shooting accuracy. Rudy Gobert also returned from injury, scoring 16 points and grabbing eight rebounds in 20 minutes of play.
The Timberwolves never trailed, building a commanding lead throughout the game, particularly in a dominant 41-point third quarter. Their 30 second-chance points further highlighted their dominance on the boards. This victory lifts the Timberwolves to eight games above .500 (37-29), their best record relative to .500 this season.
Despite the Spurs’ efforts, led by De’Aaron Fox’s 22 points and Stephon Castle’s 20, they were unable to overcome Minnesota’s offensive firepower. The Spurs, currently 26-36, are struggling since star center Victor Wembanyama was ruled out for the season with a blood clot. Castle, a rookie showing promise, continues to impress in his first NBA season.
The Timberwolves’ five-game winning streak is notable, as all opponents during this stretch have losing records. They now face a challenging schedule, with nine of their next 16 games against teams with sub-.500 records. The Spurs host the Dallas Mavericks on Monday, while the Timberwolves travel to Denver to face the Nuggets on Wednesday.
