Greetings from the AT&T center here in San Antonio, where the Wolves and Spurs will go at it in about a half an hour.
The Wolves had further travel woes. They got to their charter plane last night about 11 p.m., but mechanical issues kept the plane on the tarmac until after 2 a.m. The wheels weren't up until about 2:20, and the team didn't get to their hotel until about 5 a.m.
Such is life in the NBA.
Mo Williams (back) did not make the flight, which again means a lot of minutes for Zach LaVine. Indeed, Mo wasn't the only one with a back back. Assistant coach Sam Mitchell, who had an injection for a sore back earlier in the week, didn't make the trip, either.
Meanwhile, Spurs coach Gregg Popovich initially said that Tony Parker, Tim Duncan and Manu Ginobili would not play tonight. Parker aggravated a hamstring Friday in Memphis, and Popovich regularly rests his older veterans. But then, later, came word that Duncan would dress. We'll see if he'll play.
That's about it for now. I'll get back to you after the game.
