Wemby drops 39 to lift Spurs past Wolves, Edwards scores 55
Victor Wembanyama scored 39 points and grabbed nine rebounds to lead the San Antonio Spurs to a 126-123 home win over the Minnesota Timberwolves, overcoming a season-high 55-point performance by Anthony Edwards on Saturday night. Donte DiVincenzo briefly put Minnesota ahead with a late three-pointer, but Wembanyama responded with a 20-foot jumper, then blocked Joan Beringer’s reverse layup and secured a key offensive rebound in the final seconds to preserve the Spurs’ lead. De’Aaron Fox added 25 points and 12 assists as San Antonio avoided a three-game season sweep by Minnesota in their head-to-head series.
