Edwards Leads Charge as Minnesota Levels Series
Anthony Edwards delivered an elite performance, dropping 36 points to propel the Minnesota Timberwolves to a crucial 114-109 victory over the San Antonio Spurs, levelling the conference semi-final series at 2-2. The Spurs held a four-point lead (84-80) entering the final quarter, but Minnesota mounted a significant comeback fuelled by a resounding collective effort. Edwards's offensive masterclass was bolstered by Rudy Gobert's double-double of 11 points and 13 rebounds, while Naz Reid contributed 15 points and 9 rebounds off the bench, highlighting Minnesota's depth. Despite Dylan Harper's 24 points off the bench for San Antonio, the Spurs couldn't contain the Wolves' offence, who shot 45% from the field. The hard-fought contest, where Minnesota held a slim four-point lead at halftime (60-56), saw its decisive swing in the fourth quarter. The best-of-seven series is now tied 2-2, with the series heading back to Minnesota for a pivotal Game 5.
