"You can see it as a help defender, where he finds ways to continually disrupt traffic in passing lanes without overexposing the Spurs' weak side (in fairness, overexposing the Spurs' weak side is basically impossible, given that Victor Wembanyama patrols it). Mostly, you can see it"
The Spurs evened the series by defeating the Timberwolves 133-95. Minnesota struggled throughout, with no player scoring more than 12 points and every Timberwolves player posting a negative plus-minus. Anthony Edwards attributed the performance to a hard-headed, soft-ass outcome. The Spurs’ stars arrived, and rookie Dylan Harper produced a major share of the game’s impact. Harper recorded 11 points on 10 shots, seven rebounds, five assists, and two steals. His value came from knowing where to be on offense, shooting effectively, attacking shifting defenses, and moving behind the play. Defensively, he disrupted passing lanes as a help defender without overexposing the weak side, where Victor Wembanyama provides protection.
