What happened: Anthony Edwards expressed confidence following Minnesota's 114-109 Game 4 win over San Antonio, noting a knee injury prevented a poster dunk on Victor Wembanyama. Edwards exploded for 36 points, including 16 in the final quarter, despite playing through a bone bruise. The victory ties the Western Conference Semifinals series at two games apiece.

Why it matters: The quote highlights Edwards' aggressive mentality against Wembanyama, who has set postseason defensive records this month. Minnesota evened the Western Conference Semifinals as they continue to manage Edwards' physical health. Wembanyama's early ejection for a Flagrant 2 foul further intensified the series rivalry.

What to watch: Game 5 returns to Minneapolis on Wednesday. Watch for Edwards' knee mobility and Wembanyama's response following his ejection.
