Minnesota Timberwolves vs San Antonio Spurs Full Game 5 Highlights - May 12, 2026 | NBA Playoffs #nba #highlights #basketball Victor Wembanyama atoned for his first career ejection with another huge performance, finishing with 27 points, 17 rebounds, five assists and three blocks as the San Antonio Spurs beat the Minnesota Timberwolves 126-97 on Tuesday night to take a 3-2 lead in their second-round series. Keldon Johnson had 21 points, De'Aaron Fox added 18 and Stephon Castle had 17 as San Antonio moved a game away from the Western Conference finals. The Spurs can advance to face Oklahoma City with a victory in Game 6 on Friday in Minneapolis. Anthony Edwards, who was limited to eight points in the first half, finished with 20 points for Minnesota. Julius Randle and Jaden McDaniels added 17 points apiece. Wembanyama returned after being ejected early in the second quarter of Minnesota's 114-109 victory Sunday during Game 4 in Minneapolis. Wembanyama received a Flagrant 2 foul after elbowing Naz Reid in the throat. “We went away from what was working," Timberwolves coach Chris Finch said. "Our defense just cratered. We gave up 30 points, I think, in the last six minutes of the third quarter. A lot of it was just ball contain, ball contain stuff.” San Antonio held its opponent under 100 points for the fifth time in 10 games this postseason. “I thought we did a good job of having resistance early in the clock," Spurs coach Mitch Johnson said. "They’ve shown as the series has gone on, they’ve tried to play faster at times and they’re tough when they get downhill. I think when we’ve had better starting spots, more connectivity at the start of possessions, I think it’s really helped us be on a string and be organized and connected defensively.”
With the Western Conference semifinals in the balance Tuesday, Victor Wembanyama once again delivered in a big way. And he delivered it quickly, leading the Spurs to a 126-97 shellacking of the Timberwolves that gave San Antonio a 3-2 lead in the series. The Spurs are now one win away from a trip to the Western Conference finals. Tap the link in our bio for 3 Takeaways from Game 5 as the series heads back to Minnesota.

Paul Pierce Criticizes NBA After Victor Wembanyama’s Playoff Ejection Against Timberwolves Paul Pierce publicly criticized the NBA after San Antonio Spurs star Victor Wembanyama was ejected for elbowing Naz Reid during a playoff game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Pierce called the league “soft” while debating the Flagrant 2 decision. NBA fans and analysts continue discussing officiating consistency and physicality during intense postseason matchups.
Victor Wembanyama had one of the coldest moments of the playoffs tonight. During Game 5 against the Minnesota Timberwolves, Wemby gave the crowd the famous “demon stare” that reminded NBA fans of LeBron James’ legendary look during the iconic Boston playoff game years ago. And after that moment… he completely took over. Wembanyama finished the night with 27 points, dominating both ends of the floor and leading the San Antonio Spurs to a massive win to take a 3-2 series lead. When Wemby gets into that mode… he looks unstoppable. 😈🔥 #Wembanyama #Spurs #Timberwolves #NBAPlayoffs #LeBronJames #NBA #NBAShorts #Basketball #Viral #Shorts
