MINNEAPOLIS (FOX 9) - One game after suffering the worst playoff defeat in team history, the Minnesota Timberwolves couldn't quite bounce back against the San Antonio Spurs on Friday night at Target Center with a 115-108 loss in front of their home crowd.

Wolves beat Spurs in Game 3

By the numbers:

Anthony Edwards returned to the starting lineup for the first time since suffering a hyperextension and bone bruise on April 26, 2026, against the Denver Nuggets, but it didn't deter a rocky start for the Wolves — starting the game down 18-3, shooting 2-of-16, before going on a 9-0 run and eventually tightening the score to 23-22 by the end of the first quarter.

The Wolves then took a 31-27 lead halfway through a second quarter that would go back-and-forth before settling in a 51-51 tie at halftime.

In the third, the Wolves began to find themselves trailing, behind the Spurs 79-86 heading into the fourth, when the Spurs continued to give them trouble and eventually pulled away.
