San Antonio at Minnesota

The Spurs' strong start has been negated by a 1-4 run over their last five games. Coach Pop has got to be furious as his team has uncharacteristically allowed three straight opponents to shoot over 50%. Now they hit the road to take on Minnesota who is 6-4 on the season yet the Spurs are just +2 underdogs? I think the oddsmakers know Pop better than the bettors do, and I'm sure he has chastised his team for the lack of effort on the defensive end. Look for the Spurs' coming out party on the defensive end in this one and find their way back into the win column. Take San Antonio.
