SAN ANTONIO — Victor Wembanyama scored a season-high 43 points, blocked six shots and helped the San Antonio Spurs beat the short-handed Minnesota Timberwolves 121–111 on Saturday, October 31.

Wembanyama also had seven rebounds as San Antonio won its fourth consecutive game. Dylan Harper added 25 points, seven rebounds and six assists, while De’Aaron Fox finished with 22 points, eight rebounds and seven assists.

Minnesota led by one at halftime after erasing an 11-point deficit with a 16–0 run. The Spurs recovered in the third quarter and carried a five-point advantage into the fourth.

San Antonio later used a 12–2 run to move ahead 101–88. Minnesota kept the game within reach and cut the deficit to four on a Jaden McDaniels jumper with 6:49 remaining.

The Spurs answered, and Wembanyama’s three-pointer with 2:40 left helped put the result beyond Minnesota’s reach.

Ayo Dosunmu led the Timberwolves with 27 points and nine rebounds. McDaniels and Jonathan Kuminga scored 19 apiece. Minnesota played without Anthony Edwards, Donte DiVincenzo and Rudy Gobert and lost for the third time in four games.

San Antonio improved to 4–2. Minnesota fell to 4–3.

The Spurs are scheduled to host Utah on Monday, continuing a three-game homestand. The Timberwolves are set to return home to play Milwaukee.
