NBA Finals: Minnesota Timberwolves beat Dallas Mavericks in Game 4
Al Jazeera
If Minnesota win the playoff series, they will become the first team in NBA history to advance after trailing 3-0.
The Minnesota Timberwolves stay alive in the NBA Western Conference finals, riding on Anthony Edwards’ game-high 29 points and Karl-Anthony Towns’s long-range shooting form for a 105-100 victory over the host Dallas Mavericks in Game 4.
With their first win in the best-of-seven series on Tuesday night, the Timberwolves earned a Game 5 at home on Thursday night, hoping to blaze a trail to become the first team in NBA history to rally and advance after trailing 3-0 in a playoff series.
Winning the series was not on the team’s radar in Game 4, Edwards insisted afterwards.
“We just wanted to get one game and extend the series,” he said.
“I’ve never been swept in my career. I didn’t want to get swept. Not on their home court, hearing their fans talk trash all day.”
