Minnesota Timberwolves at San Antonio Spurs – Game 2
In a must-win situation the San Antonio Spurs played with the intensity and concentration needed to win an NBA championship. They absolutely dismantled the Minnesota Timberwolves 133-95, just an all-around ass-kicking. Victor Wembanyama still shot poorly from the perimeter, 2-7 from 3-pt, but started the game attacking from the interior and working his way inside-out. The physicality that worked so…

Saved By Steph
WOW! Team USA completed a thrilling, electrifying and rousing 17-point comeback against Serbia led by Steph Curry’s 36-point explosion. Up to this point, he’d been very quiet, verging on anonymity, scoring 7, 8, 3 and 11 points in the prior 4 games. The world’s best shooter and his role on the team were coming into question. Well, he quieted that…
