The Minnesota Timberwolves secured a 117-110 victory over the Golden State Warriors in Game 4 of the Western Conference Semifinals, taking a commanding 3-1 series lead. Anthony Edwards led the charge with 30 points, including 16 during a pivotal third-quarter run that shifted the game's momentum.

After going into halftime up two points, the Warriors saw their lead evaporate as the Wolves embarked on a 21-2 run starting with two Rudy Gobert free throws. The Warriors left the third quarter trailing by 20 after a 12-minute stretch filled with fruitless Golden State drives, turnovers and a parade of made Timberwolves jumpers.
