After winning three straight games in a seven-game Western Conference finals series, the Dallas Mavericks lost game four against the Minnesota Timberwolves. The Mavericks were on the verge of advancing to the NBA finals, but the Timberwolves forced a game 5 with a hard-fought win. Mavericks’ star power guard, Kyrie Irving, lost a series-clinching match for the first time, ending his unreal run in clinching games.
Irving scored 16 points, 4 assists, and 2 rebounds in his 42 minutes of the game. Luka Doncic, the star player of Dallas, finished with 28 points, 10 assists, and 15 rebounds.

Kyrie Irving had a tough time scoring in game 4
Irving had a tough day, and Edwards took advantage of it by delivering a fantastic performance. Edwards made 11 out of 25 shots from the field and ended with 29 points, 10 rebounds, and 9 assists. Karl-Anthony Towns, a Timberwolves guard, provided much-needed support by fouling out in the fourth quarter. He finished his best game of the series with 25 points in 30 minutes of play.
Anthony Edwards backed up his words in game four after his team’s loss in game 3. He stated that the series was not over and that they would make a comeback. He also mentioned, “It’s time to make history.” No team has ever won a playoff series after losing the first 3 games. If the Timberwolves manage to do it, they will be the first.
Irving will aim to be more dominant in Game 5, scheduled for Friday at the Target Center. The next game will be crucial for both teams. If Dallas wins, they will advance to the NBA finals, while if Minnesota wins, they will force Game 6.
