The Timberwolves went into San Antonio on Monday night and took Game 1 from the Spurs with a hard-fought 104-102 win. Anthony Edwards returned from a knee injury that he suffered in the first round against the Nuggets and had 18 points (including 11 in the fourth quarter) in a gutsy performance that seemed to inspire his teammates.
On the other side, Victor Wembanyana had only 11 points, but he set an NBA record for most blocks in a single playoff game with 12. His impact on the defensive end of the floor caused fits for the Timberwolves all night as he was seemingly everywhere throughout the game.
