On Sunday, the Timberwolves were able to avoid elimination by winning Game 4 on their home floor by a score of 114-108 in overtime.
Anthony Edwards had 34 points, and eight players on the team scored.
If there is a Game 6, it will be back in Minnesota on Thursday night.

Whoever wins the series will advance to the second round and face off against either the Los Angeles Clippers or the Phoenix Suns.
