What happened
Anthony Edwards led the Minnesota Timberwolves to a Game 4 victory at home, tying their playoff series with the San Antonio Spurs 2-2. The win came on Mother's Day, with Edwards dedicating his performance to his late mother, Yvette. The series now shifts back to San Antonio for a pivotal Game 5.
Why it matters
After dropping the opening two games, Minnesota has battled back to even the series, flipping home-court advantage pressure squarely onto the Spurs. Edwards has reasserted himself as the offensive engine the Wolves need, even while playing through leg issues. A Game 5 win in San Antonio would put Minnesota one victory from advancing.
