The Timberwolves kept their Western Conference Finals streak alive and avoided a sweep after defeating the Mavs 105-100 in Game 4 and NBA fans have some thoughts.
After a lackluster performance in Game 3, Anthony Edwards and Karl Anthony-Towns stepped up to help the T-Wolves to an all-important win.
Edwards recorded 29 PTS, 10 REB and 9 AST, becoming the youngest player in NBA history to reach those numbers in a playoff game.
Although 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 on his shoulders, telling reporters after the game, “That game is on me.”
Luke says he didn’t play “with enough energy.”
He hit a wild shot in the clutch, which brought the Mavs closer to a comeback, but it wasn’t enough to lock up the series.
LUKA MADNESS 4-POINTS PLAY!
