Timberwolves second-year guard Terrence Shannon Jr. made a pair of free throws to cut the deficit to 93-89 entering the fourth quarter.
Despite playing the second game of a back-to-back set, Minnesota seemed to gain strength in the final 12 minutes. Randle opened the fourth-quarter scoring with a step-back jump shot, and Reid followed with a 3-pointer to put the Timberwolves on top 94-93 with 11:18 to go.

Fox made a pair of free throws to pull the Spurs within 114-105 with four minutes to go, but that was the last time they trailed by single digits.
