What happened
The San Antonio Spurs routed the Minnesota Timberwolves in Game 2 to even their playoff series at 1-1. Stephon Castle led the Spurs in scoring, per @contendrsmedia. The series now shifts to Minnesota with home-court advantage flipped.
Why it matters
A Game 2 road loss for Minnesota erases the edge they earned in the opener and puts pressure on Anthony Edwards and the Wolves to respond at home. Victor Wembanyama's animated reaction to a 35-point Spurs lead underscored how lopsided the rout became. With the series tied, the next two games in Minnesota effectively become a best-of-three.
What to watch
Game 3 shifts to Minnesota with the Timberwolves needing to defend home court. Watch for Edwards' usage and any rotation adjustments after the Game 2 blowout.
