What happened
Anthony Edwards and the Minnesota Timberwolves defeated the San Antonio Spurs in Game 4 on home court, knotting their playoff series at 2-2. The win came after Victor Wembanyama was ejected from the game, shifting momentum in Minnesota's favor. The series now heads back to San Antonio for a pivotal Game 5.
Why it matters
A 2-2 series reset turns this into a best-of-three, with home court swinging back to the Spurs. Edwards continues to cement his status as a franchise cornerstone in high-leverage playoff moments, while Wembanyama's ejection raises questions about San Antonio's discipline. The outcome of Game 5 typically dictates series direction, with the winner historically advancing at a high rate.
What to watch
Game 5 shifts back to San Antonio, where the Spurs will look to reclaim home-court advantage. Watch for Wembanyama's response after the Game 4 ejection and whether Edwards' knee holds up.
