San Antonio is currently on a three-game winning streak after losing to the Orlando Magic late last month. It was the only loss of the Spurs in their last thirteen games, which has catapulted them to the second place in the Western Conference standings.

The Spurs rallied back from 15 points down midway in the third period to pull off the one-point win. With the victory, San Antonio remained undefeated on the road this season.

Meanwhile, the Wolves were able to snap a four-game losing slide with a 125-120 overtime victory over the Charlotte Hornets last Saturday on the road at the Time Warner Cable Arena, ABC News reported.
