Spurs rout Timberwolves to advance to Western Conference Finals

In the long arc of franchise redemption and renewal, the San Antonio Spurs have written another chapter worth remembering — dispatching the Minnesota Timberwolves by thirty points in a Game 6 that left little to interpretation. Led by the emerging force of Stephon Castle, San Antonio demonstrated that shooting excellence, when sustained, becomes a kind of inevitability. The Spurs now turn westward toward Oklahoma City, carrying the momentum of a team that has found its voice at precisely the right moment in the season.
