What happened: Anthony Edwards scored 36 points to lead the Minnesota Timberwolves to a 114-109 Game 4 victory over the San Antonio Spurs. The Atlanta-native scored 16 points in the final frame to even the Western Conference Semifinals at 2-2.

Why it matters: The performance cements Edwards' status as a premier closer while playing through a lingering knee injury. With Victor Wembanyama ejected in the fourth quarter of the loss, Minnesota has successfully reclaimed momentum as the series returns to Texas.

By the numbers: Edwards: 36 PTS (16 in 4Q); Wembanyama: Game 4 ejection (Flagrant 2); Series: Tied 2-2; Next: Game 5 (May 12).

What to watch: Game 5 tips off Tuesday in San Antonio. The league is currently reviewing Wembanyama's ejection for potential further disciplinary action.
