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

Why it matters: A 2-2 series flips home-court back to San Antonio and turns the matchup into a best-of-three with the Spurs holding the edge in remaining home games. Minnesota's ability to respond after dropping a game on its own floor keeps its title window open and shifts the pressure to Victor Wembanyama and the Spurs heading home. The emotional weight of Edwards' Mother's Day performance adds a narrative thread heading into Game 5.

By the numbers: Series tied 2-2 after Game 4 in Minnesota. Wembanyama was ejected during the Game 4 loss, a factor Minnesota capitalized on at home.

What to watch: Game 5 shifts to San Antonio with the series tied and home-court advantage back in the Spurs' hands. Watch for Wembanyama's status and response after his Game 4 ejection, and whether Edwards can carry his Game 4 form on the road.
