What happened: Anthony Edwards and the Minnesota Timberwolves defeated the San Antonio Spurs in Game 4 to even their playoff series at 2-2. The win came at home and sends the series back to San Antonio for a pivotal Game 5. Edwards delivered a standout performance that included a dedication to his late mother on Mother's Day.

Why it matters: A 2-2 series reset turns this into a best-of-three with home court back on San Antonio's side, raising the stakes for every possession the rest of the way. Edwards continues to cement his status as Minnesota's closer in high-leverage playoff moments, a storyline that has carried through this series as Victor Wembanyama and the Spurs try to regain control. The Game 4 result also followed a Wembanyama ejection that shifted momentum in Minnesota's favor.

What to watch: Game 5 tips off in San Antonio with the series knotted at 2-2 and home court swinging back to the Spurs. Watch for Wembanyama's response after his Game 4 ejection and whether Edwards can sustain his closer-level production on the road.
