What happened: Anthony Edwards and the Minnesota Timberwolves evened their playoff series at 2-2 with a Game 4 win at home, sending the matchup back to San Antonio for a pivotal Game 5. Edwards led the charge in a performance he dedicated to his late mother on Mother's Day. The Spurs lost forward Victor Wembanyama to an ejection during the game.

Why it matters: A 2-2 series flips the win-probability math: home court is effectively reset, and the next game becomes the swing contest of the round. Edwards' continued postseason output reinforces his case as a closer Minnesota can ride into deeper rounds. For San Antonio, the Wembanyama ejection raises questions about discipline and availability heading into a must-hold home game.

What to watch: Watch for Wembanyama's status and any league review tied to his Game 4 ejection ahead of Game 5 in San Antonio. Minnesota will look to steal home court; the Spurs need a response to avoid going down 3-2.
