The Minnesota Timberwolves (5 - 31) dropped their 15th consecutive game Saturday, losing 108 - 93 to the San Antonio Spurs (23 - 15) at home. Both teams were playing their second games in as many nights on Saturday, with the Timberwolves coming off of a 98 - 84 loss to the Bucks while the Spurs were coming off of a 100 - 95 win over the Suns. Each team made heavy use of their bench players as both of them had three reserves play 20+ minutes. The Spurs opened up a big lead in the second quarter thanks to a 130 run that was highlighted by seven points from Austin Daye. The Spurs shot an excellent 49% from the field Saturday night en route to an easy victory. San Antonio remains the seventh seed in the West after recording their second consecutive win on Saturday. The Spurs fielded a patchwork starting lineup with Manu Ginobli and Marco Belinelli sidelined with injuries. Austin Daye filled in admirably with 22 points and 10 rebounds, however. The Spurs will travel to Washington to take on the Wizards on Monday. Minnesota was dealing with injury issues as well with Shabazz Muhammad sidelined with an abdomen injury. The Timberwolves will start a four - game road trip on Tuesday when they take on the Pacers.
