The Spurs ended the Wolves’ season on Sunday with a 139-109 rout in Game 6, closing out the series 4-2 and sending San Antonio to its first Western Conference Finals since 2017. The win sets up a Monday night meeting with the Thunder, the No. 1 seed, in a matchup that brings the No. 2 seed Spurs back to the conference stage.
Victor Wembanyama scored 19 points for San Antonio and added six rebounds and three blocks, while Stephon Castle powered the offense with 32 points and 11 rebounds. The Spurs had six double-digit scorers in all, a spread that made the game lopsided long before the final buzzer.
Anthony Edwards led Minnesota with 24 points and Naz Reid added 18, but the Wolves never found a way to slow the Spurs once the margin opened. Edwards later praised the opponent, saying that at that point you know you ain’t going back in so you just trying to give them the respect they deserve. He added, “Just tip my hat to them,” and called it “a better team.”
The result carries weight because it is more than a single win: it ends a series, restores San Antonio to the Western Conference Finals for the first time in eight years, and turns the next round into a quick turnaround. The conference finals begin Monday at 8:30 ET on NBC and Peacock, with the Spurs facing the Thunder in a rematch of rivals from the top of the West.
There is still room for the Wolves to point to Edwards’ scoring and Reid’s help, but the gap in Game 6 was the clearest sign of the series. San Antonio did not just advance; it took control with depth, defense and a late-series surge that left Minnesota with no answer and the Thunder waiting next.
