"Edwards scored 16 of his 36 points in the fourth quarter, and the Minnesota Timberwolves took advantage of Victor Wembanyama's ejection to post a 114-109 win over the San Antonio Spurs. The Timberwolves' win on Sunday night in Minneapolis tied the Western Conference second-round series at two games apiece. Naz Reid contributed 15 points and nine rebounds off the bench for Minnesota. He also took an elbow from Wembanyama into his chin on the play in which the Spurs star was ejected in the second quarter."
"Jaden McDaniels scored 14 points, Julius Randle scored 12 and Rudy Gobert had 11 points and 13 rebounds for the Timberwolves. Ayo Dosunmu added 10 points for Minnesota. De'Aaron Fox and reserve Dylan Harper scored 24 points each, and Stephon Castle added 20 for the Spurs. Devin Vassell tallied 14 points for San Antonio. Wembanyama had four points, four rebounds and no blocks in 12-plus minutes."
"The Spurs trailed by seven before Harper made two free throws with 29.1 seconds left and Julian Champagnie hit two with 20.6 seconds remaining to bring San Antonio within 112-109. Dosunmu answered with two free throws with 9.8 seconds left as Minnesota closed it out. "Just small-time plays, Edwards told reporters when asked how the Timberwolves won Game 4. Small-time plays win big-time games. That's what we needed. Diving on the floor, offensive rebounds and it was a great sub by Finchie for putting in Ayo for that last minute and a half.""
"Earlier, Wembanyama grabbed a rebound and was trying to protect the ball from two Timberwolves when he turned and unleashed a vicious right elbow into Reid's chin and was called for a foul with 8:39 left in the first hal. "We never expected them just to go away," Timberwolves coach Chris Finch said. "They won a game in the Portland series without Wembanyama, so they're very good, very good team.""
