Minnesota Timberwolves Stay Alive in Western Conference Finals with Game 4 Victory
Edwards Leads Wolves with Game-High 29 Points
The Minnesota Timberwolves kept their NBA Western Conference finals hopes alive with a 108-105 victory over the Dallas Mavericks in Game 4 on Monday night. Anthony Edwards led the Wolves with a game-high 29 points, while Karl-Anthony Towns added 23 points and Rudy Gobert contributed 15 points and 14 rebounds.
Mavs Lead Series 3-1
Despite the win, the Timberwolves still trail the series 3-1 to the Mavericks. Dallas can clinch the series with a win in Game 5 on Wednesday night in Minneapolis. The Mavericks also won Game 1 of the series 108-105 in Dallas.
Timberwolves Must Win Three Straight
The Timberwolves, who have never been to the NBA Finals, need to win three straight games to make history as the first team to ever rally from a 3-0 deficit in the NBA playoffs. The last team to rally from a 3-0 deficit in the NBA playoffs was the Cleveland Cavaliers in 2016.
Conclusion
The Timberwolves' Game 4 victory gives them a glimmer of hope in the Western Conference finals. However, they face an uphill battle against a talented Mavericks team that has been dominant throughout the series. The Wolves will need to play their best basketball in Game 5 if they want to extend the series and keep their championship hopes alive.
