Timberwolves Tie Series as Anthony Edwards Drops 36 After Wembanyama Ejection
Anthony Edwards scored 36 points to lead the Timberwolves to a 114-109 Game 4 win over the Spurs, tying the series after Victor Wembanyama was ejected.
The Minnesota Timberwolves leveled their Western Conference semifinal series against the San Antonio Spurs at 2-2 with a thrilling 114-109 victory in Game 4. The turning point of the game occurred early in the second quarter when Spurs superstar Victor Wembanyama was ejected for a Flagrant 2 foul after elbowing Naz Reid in the neck — his first career ejection.
Following Wembanyama's unexpected exit, the Timberwolves capitalized on the absence of San Antonio's defensive anchor. Anthony Edwards took over the game, pouring in 36 points in a spectacular performance dedicated to his late mother on Mother's Day.
"I wanted to win this game for my mom," Edwards said after the final buzzer. Without Wembanyama in the paint, Edwards aggressively attacked the rim, guiding Minnesota through a tense fourth quarter.
The NBA confirmed after the game that Wembanyama will not face a suspension or additional fine beyond the ejection. The series now shifts back to San Antonio for a crucial Game 5, with momentum squarely on Minnesota's side.
