After a long layoff, will the Spurs win at home by 10 pts or more vs Minn in game 1 of West Semis?

The San Antonio Spurs did not win Game 1 of the Western Conference semifinals by 10 or more points—they did not win at all. The Minnesota Timberwolves prevailed 104-102 in San Antonio on May 4, 2026, in a tightly contested opener. Anthony Edwards returned unexpectedly from injury to score 18 points, providing the margin Minnesota needed to win on the road. Victor Wembanyama posted a remarkable triple-double with 11 points, 15 rebounds, and 12 blocks, but the Spurs could not convert in the closing minutes. The Spurs' long layoff after sweeping Portland in the first round was cited as a factor in their sluggish offensive output. The community split nearly evenly (45% expected a blowout Spurs win), but the majority predicting a closer game or a Timberwolves result were correct.
