Timberwolves defeat Mavericks in Game 4, avoid sweep with Karl-Anthony Towns, Anthony Edwards in charge

DALLAS – At least once in each Timberwolves playoff series, Karl-Anthony Towns and Anthony Edwards seemed like they were auditioning for a comedy sitcom during their postgame press conferences.

The laughter and smiles were in short supply as the Wolves lost the first three games of the NBA Western Conference finals to Dallas, but everything was fine again Tuesday, at least for one night.

The Wolves took down the Mavericks 105-100 before 20,477 at American Airlines Arena to keep their season alive and force Game 5 on Thursday at Target Center.

It took Towns and Edwards re-finding themselves to finally get the first win of the series.
