Minnesota Timberwolves held off the Dallas Mavericks 105-100

Tuesday night, the Minnesota Timberwolves avoided a sweep in the Western Conference finals by holding off the Dallas Mavericks 105-100, with 20 of Karl-Anthony Towns' 25 points coming in the second half. With 29 points, 10 rebounds, and nine assists, Anthony Edwards helped the Wolves survive their first trip to the conference finals in twenty years.

Towns, who entered the game shooting 28% from the field, completed 9 of 13 shots, four of which were from deep. Now, Minnesota will host Game 5 at home on Thursday night in an attempt to further intrigue the series against Dallas. Luka Doncic had his sixth triple-double of the playoffs with 28 points, 15 rebounds, and 10 assists, but he and fellow star Kyrie Irving were just 13 of 39 from the field. Irving ended with 16 points despite entering the game 14-0 in his career in closeout games.
