What happened: Anthony Edwards and the Minnesota Timberwolves defeated the San Antonio Spurs in Game 4 to even their second-round playoff series at 2-2. The series now shifts back to San Antonio for a pivotal Game 5. Edwards led the way with a standout performance that he dedicated to his late mother, Yvette, on Mother's Day.

Why it matters: Game 5 becomes a swing game in a best-of-seven knotted at two games apiece, with the winner one victory from the Western Conference Finals. Minnesota stealing a game to square the series resets home-court advantage and puts pressure squarely on Victor Wembanyama and the Spurs. Edwards continues to assert himself as Minnesota's closer in the biggest moments of the postseason.

What to watch: Game 5 returns to San Antonio with the series tied 2-2 and home-court back in the Spurs' hands. Watch for Wembanyama's response after his Game 4 ejection and whether Edwards can sustain his closing-stretch dominance on the road.
