Minnesota's Anthony Edwards was spectacular, finishing with 29 points, 10 rebounds, and nine assists<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Edwards's teammate, Karl-Anthony Towns, has struggled all series, including tonight's first half when he scored five points. However, Towns scored 20 points in the second half to finish with 25, including four 3-pointers.<\/p>\n

All five of Minnesota's starters finished with 10 or more points.<\/p>\n

With the win, Minnesota is now 3-0 in elimination games this postseason.<\/p>\n

For Dallas, Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving struggled to shoot all night. Doncic finished with 28 points, 15 rebounds, and 10 assists on 7-21 shooting, while Irving ended up with 16 points on 6-18 from the field.<\/p>\n

The duo went 5-17 from behind the arc.<\/p>\n

Edwards hit a jump shot with 39 seconds left to put Minnesota up five. On the next possession, Doncic made a 3-pointer after being fouled by Edwards. However, Doncic missed the free throw, and Naz Reid hit a layup at the other end to seal the five-point victory for Minnesota.<\/p>\n

Game 5 will be in Minnesota on Thursday, May 30.<\/p>\n
