Timberwolves on Four-Game Winning Streak, Spurs Struggle with Three Consecutive Losses Ahead of NBA In-Season Tournament

Timberwolves carry the momentum of impressive home victories while Spurs aim to end their losing streak at NBA in-season tournament.

The Timberwolves are entering the NBA in-season tournament on a four-game winning streak, led by key performances from Anthony Edwards, Karl-Anthony Towns, and Rudy Gobert. Minnesota's defensive prowess has been highlighted, letting opponents score less than 100 in three out of the last four games.
Minnesota's recent streak includes a 122-101 victory over New Orleans, with the team accomplishing all five of their season wins at home. They also registered impressive victories against Denver and Boston.
The Spurs, on the other hand, are struggling with three consecutive losses, including two on the road where they were defeated by an average of 31 points. Their last defeat was a 126-105 loss against the New York Knicks.
The Spurs have struggled with a slow start in their games, creating a deficit from the beginning that they have been unable to overcome. Their potential lies in their defense which has shown promising sequences, especially in Phoenix.
Last season, the Timberwolves and Spurs had an even-match up, with their four-game series split evenly between the two teams. As they square off at the beginning of the NBA's in-season tournament, the Timberwolves' performance holds the upper hand.
