Towns scores 20 of his 25 points in the second half, Anthony Edwards has 29 points, 10 rebounds and nine assists and Minnesota holds off Luka Doncic (28-point triple-double) and Dallas, 105-100, to extend the Western Conference finals. Game 5 is Thursday night.
Karl-Anthony Towns scored 20 of his 25 points in the second half and the Minnesota Timberwolves held off the Dallas Mavericks, 105-100, on Tuesday night to avoid a sweep in the Western Conference finals.
Anthony Edwards had 29 points, 10 rebounds and nine assists as the Wolves stayed alive in their first trip to the conference finals in 20 years, and just the second in the franchise’s 35 seasons.
Now third-seeded Minnesota heads home for Game 5 on Thursday night to see if it can make the series even more interesting against fifth-seeded Dallas.
Luka Doncic had 28 points, 15 rebounds and 10 assists in his sixth triple-double of these playoffs, but he and co-star Kyrie Irving shot just 13 for 39 from the field. Irving, who was 14-0 in his career in closeout games coming in, finished with 16 points.
