The Minnesota Timberwolves staved off elimination by defeating the Dallas Mavericks 105-100 on Tuesday night in Game 4 of the NBA Western Conference finals. The victory prevented a series sweep and kept the Timberwolves’ championship hopes alive.
Karl-Anthony Towns was instrumental in the win, scoring 20 of his 25 points in the second half. His late-game surge helped Minnesota overcome a resilient Dallas team determined to close out the series.
Anthony Edwards delivered a standout performance with 29 points, 10 rebounds, and nine assists, nearly securing a triple-double. His all-around contribution was vital in securing the Timberwolves’ first conference finals win in 20 years and only their second in the franchise’s 35-season history.
With the series now at 3-1, the third-seeded Timberwolves head back home for Game 5 on Thursday night. They aim to build on this momentum and further challenge the fifth-seeded Mavericks, making the series increasingly competitive.
