Karl-Anthony Towns and the Minnesota Timberwolves survived a late thriller over the Memphis Grizzlies to even the series (2-2).
The All-Star big man went for a playoff career-best 33 points, while grabbing 14 rebounds, as the Timberwolves bounced back from their loss in Game 3.
Anthony Edwards (24 points) and Patrick Beverley (17 points) combined for 41 points for the winners, who led for the majority of the night.
Desmond Bane (34 points) and Dillon Brooks (24 points) were the best players of the losing squad. Ja Morant flirted with the triple-double for Memphis, with 11 points, 15 assists and eight boards.
Beverley missed two free throws with 43 seconds left. With Minnesota leading 115-110, Morant answered with a layup and Edwards missed a pull-up 3.
But, Tyus Jones had his 3-pointer fall short with 10.5 seconds to go, and Edwards grabbed the rebound. He made both free throws and sealed the deal for the Timberwolves.
The series now goes back to Memphis for Game 5 on Tuesday. Game 6 will take place on Friday (April 29).
