Love scored 9 in the opening quarter

It�s a tight contest early between the top two teams in the West in San Antonio and Minnesota. The Spurs lead by a single point in a back and forth affair that saw both teams missing a lot of shots early. Ginobli�s smothering defense made it hard for Rider to assert his will on the game, as shot after shot rimmed out. Thankfully for the Wolves Kevin Love put in a top notch effort scoring nine points on perfect shooting in the quarter. Beasley also did well with his looks. For the Spurs Duncan and Ginobli lead the way with seven points each. Looks to be a tough contest here in Minneapolis for the Timberwolves.

The second quarter didn�t start well for the Wolves with the Spurs able to have their way often. It wasn�t until Rambis subbed rookie Johnson in to play on Ginobli and Webster in at small forward did the offence start working.. Flynn has 11 assists on the half and Ginobli 14 points. Love has 11 to lead the Wolves but spent most of the second on the bench after racking up some quick fouls. The Wolves are looking rough around the edges in comparison to the Spurs side who look calm and composed. Spurs lead 52 to 48 at the half.

The third quarter shows the class of the Spurs, with them having their way with the Wolves for the most part, the young pups struggled to make any real inroads and face a 12 point deficit going into the final quarter. It�s hard to see what the Wolves can do here to get back in the game.

In the first 90 seconds of the final period the Wolves went on a run to get within 3 points, led by Eric Bledsoe who had a couple of steals and fast break scores. The two teams went back and forth as the Wolves fought hard to finish the comeback. Leveling the scores with two minutes to go, the Wolves fought hard as they may, but couldn�t get past the Spurs. Webster missed a contested shot to try and send the game to over time, the Wolves falling by two points in the end.
