San Antonio improved to 3-1 after leading by as many as 35 quarters in the fourth quarter....
Minnesota Timberwolves forward Anthony Edwards looks down the court during the first half of an NBA basketball game against the San Antonio Spurs, Monday, Oct. 24, 2022, in Minneapolis. MINNEAPOLIS - Tanking talk has never been a thing in the Spurs’ locker room, and now the league knows it.
In their 50 years, the Spurs have only had three better starts . It’s also only the fourth time in franchise history they’ve started a season 3-0 on the road after following their season-opening loss at home against Charlotte with wins at Indiana, Philadelphia and Minneapolis. Anthony Edwards, who scored a career-best 49 points against the Spurs last April, missed 12 of 15 shots to finish with just nine points.
Here are three takeaways from the first of three games the Spurs will play against the Timberwolves in a span of seven days:Showing off his speed and athleticism, rookie forward Jeremy Sochan scored 14 points to prove he can be more than just a defensive-minded, rebounding pest.“We pushed the pace pretty good, and he ran the floor well and people saw him, and they threw it ahead like you are supposed to do,” Popovich said. “He ran hard. He ran to the rim.
“It just came with the flow,” Sochan said of his scoring. “Every night I am going to bring energy and try to be aggressive. I’m still figuring stuff out. It’s a brand-new season, a brand-new league.”Trading off some of the veterans is one way the front office can ensure the Spurs are in the running for Wembanyama.Facing a frontcourt that included Towns and three-time NBA defensive player of the year Rudy Gobert, Poeltl also had four assists, a steal and just one foul.
