The Timberwolves had controlled the game in the first half, building a comfortable lead heading into the final period. But the Spurs refused to back down and mounted an impressive comeback. With 8:42 left in the game, Doug McDermott’s clutch 3-pointer gave the Spurs the lead at 93-92. The contest remained tight, with Anthony Edwards of the Timberwolves tying the game at 107 with a jumper from beyond the arc.
