San Antonio pulled off the upset, beating Minnesota in a game where nobody gave them much of a chance. Their prospects certainly looked bleak on paper, with most predictions giving Minnesota a solid win thanks to better skill at most positions. But head coach Bob came up with a marvelous game plan and kept Minnesota coach Bob guessing most of the game. This, as well as a number of solid performances by Sessoms and others, gave San Antonio the edge they needed to come out on top. "I think we caught them by surprise," said Bob after the game. "They played like they expected the win to be handed to them, but we made some adjustments after studying their tendencies and it paid off."

San Antonio was led by Sessoms (13 points, 14 boards, 1 assists, a steal, 4 blocks), Bean (12 points, 8 boards, 0 assists, a block), Cross (5 points, 10 boards, 0 assists, 3 blocks). Minnesota was led by Kennerson (18 points, 5 assists, 3 steals), Jaramillo (8 points, 18 boards, 1 assists, 3 blocks), Nordman (15 points, 1 assists, 2 blocks).

San Antonio are now 36-41 and 23-16 at home after the win. They hold at #4 in the Southwest and improve to #10 overall in the Western Conference. Minnesota are now 45-32 with today's loss. They hold at #1 in the Northwest and hold at #3 overall in the Western Conference.
