Minnesota did what nobody thought possible, derailing powerhouse San Antonio in one of the season's big upsets. Minnesota fans filled the streets after the win, setting off a party that lasted most of the night. "We showed those wimps who is boss," said one fan who appeared a little tipsy. "We'll kick them any time." Although few in the league would agree with such a comment, Minnesota certainly did make a big impression on San Antonio during their 109-85 win.

"I thought we had scouted them well, but Bob really surprised us," said losing coach Bob after the game. "He had his team executing better than they have all year, and they really outplayed us. This was no fluke - if they can play like that every week, they'll be a force to contend with." However, few in the league expect a performance like that from Minnesota for a while, as the team has had problems with consistancy.

Minnesota was led by Glover (21 points, 12 boards, 3 assists, 2 blocks), Holland (23 points, 4 assists), Timmons (6 points, 5 steals, a block). San Antonio was led by Feaster (10 points, 15 boards, 3 assists, a block), Mackey (20 points, 0 assists, a steal), Lanham (13 points, 6 boards, 0 assists, 2 blocks).

With this victory, Minnesota improve to 10-17 and 9-8 at home. They remain at #5 in the Northwest and move up to #13 overall in the Western Conference. With this loss, San Antonio drop to 15-13. They stay at #2 in the Southwest and drop to #6 overall in the Western Conference.
