Donte DiVincenzo scored 18 points and Naz Reed added 15 points for Minnesota, which improved to 2-0 at home on the weekend after losing three in a row. Spurs lost 5–2 without Victor Wembanyama, who missed another game with a left calf strain.
The Wolves outscored San Antonio 36–19 in the fourth quarter of the teams’ first matchup this season. On two separate occasions in the first four minutes of the final period, DiVincenzo and Reed made back-to-back 3s to help the Wolves regain momentum.
De’Aaron Fox led the Spurs with 25 points on 10 of 15 shooting. After being acquired in a seven-player, seven-pick trade involving San Antonio, Sacramento and Chicago in February, Fox entered Sunday second on the team behind Wembanyama with 24 points per game.
Devin Vassell and Keldon Johnson added 22 points apiece for the Spurs, who went 2-2 on their four-game road trip.
San Antonio led 93–89 in the fourth quarter and 62–61 at halftime after leading by 10 in the second quarter. Fox led all first-half scorers with 19 points on 8-11 shooting.
Edwards shot 7-9 for 16 points in the first half, but also committed six turnovers, including five in the first quarter, and was charged with his third technical foul in the last four games.
But the Wolves star ultimately finished 13 of 18 and 4 of 6 on 3-pointers for 32 points and broke the franchise record previously held by Karl-Anthony Towns with his 102nd career 30-point outing.
Spurs: Host Memphis on Tuesday.
Wolves: Tuesday at New Orleans.
