The San Antonio Spurs (8 - 4) defeated the Minnesota Timberwolves (3 - 8) 121 - 92 on Friday. San Antonio has won three straight games. Their schedule was weighted with tough games to start the season, but as they've hit a lighter group of competition, the Spurs have excelled. Tony Parker tied his season - high of 28 points in 25 minutes. The Spurs return home to finish their back - to - back set Saturday as they host the Brooklyn Nets. Minnesota was missing four of their five starters, leaving only rookie Andrew Wiggins as their lone healthy starter to suit up for Friday's loss. Kevin Martin will be out indefinitely with a fracture in his wrist. Ricky Rubio (ankle), Thaddeus Young (personal) and Nikola Pekovic (wrist) were also out. None of them will be available Saturday as the Timberwolves finish off their back - to - back set Saturday at home against the Sacramento Kings.
