Expert recap and game analysis of the San Antonio Spurs vs. Minnesota NBA game from January 17, 2026 on ESPN.

The Timberwolves are shooting just 74% from the free-throw line in losses this season. It’s an issue that cost Minnesota on Friday, and could rear its head again at inopportune times when the stakes are at their highest in the months to come.

Things haven't gone to plan for Timberwolves guard Rob Dillingham since he was taken with the eighth overall pick in the 2024 draft. He spent most of his rookie season outside of Minnesota's rotation, and that's where he currently finds himself midway through his second year.

The Spurs took advantage of no Rudy Gobert, who was out with a bruised hip, by attacking the paint for 8 of their first 9 points, but ultimately neither team could find much offense early, with the score sitting at just 10-9 Spurs after six minutes.
