In Game 5 of the Western Conference semifinals, the San Antonio Spurs crushed the Minnesota Timberwolves 126-97, taking a 3-2 series lead with Game 6 set for Friday in Minnesota. Wembanyama dominated with 27 points, a playoff career-high 17 rebounds, five assists, and three blocks in 33 minutes, becoming just the third-youngest player to hit 25-15-5 in a postseason game. Anthony Edwards admitted postgame that Wembanyama’s moves leave defenders without answers, while Julius Randle struggled at 6-of-17 for 17 points, shooting 37% in the series amid Minnesota’s faltering support cast.
