What happened: Anthony Edwards and the Minnesota Timberwolves evened their playoff series against the San Antonio Spurs at 2-2 with a Game 4 home win, per @espn. The series now shifts back to San Antonio for a pivotal Game 5. Edwards dedicated the performance to his late mother, Yvette, on Mother's Day.

Why it matters: The split flips home-court leverage back to San Antonio but turns the matchup into a best-of-three with Edwards trending up. Game 4 was marked by a Victor Wembanyama ejection that swung momentum, a storyline that will follow the series into Game 5. A win for either side in San Antonio puts the other on elimination watch.

By the numbers: Series tied 2-2. Game 4 featured a Wembanyama ejection (per prior wire.report coverage).

What to watch: Game 5 tips in San Antonio with home-court advantage restored to the Spurs. Watch Wembanyama's response after the Game 4 ejection and whether Edwards backs up his postgame comments about dunking on Wembanyama.
