The Timberwolves have kept the Western Conference Finals series alive and have avoided a sweep after defeating the Mavs 105-100 in Game 4 and NBA fans have some thoughts.
After some lacklustre performances in Game 3, Anthony Edwards and Karl Anthony-Towns stepped up to help the T-Wolves to a super important victory.
Edwards recorded 29 PTS, 10 REB and 9 AST, becoming the youngest player in NBA history to reach those numbers in an elimination game.
While KAT had a much-improved shooting night compared to Game 3. The center recorded 25 PTS & 5 REB on 80 percent shooting from three and 69.2 percent shooting from the field.
As for the Mavs, Luka Doncic had 28 PTS, 15 REB and 10 AST but put the blame for the loss squarely on his shoulders, telling reporters after the game, “That game’s on me.”
Luka says he didn’t play with “enough energy.”
He put up a wild shot in clutch time, which got the Mavs closer to a comeback, but it wasn’t enough to lock away the series.
LUKA INSANE 4-POINT PLAY!
