Minnesota Makes History
The Minnesota Timberwolves are rewriting franchise history! They triumphed over the Phoenix Suns 122-116 on Sunday, completing the first playoff series sweep in their team’s history. Anthony Edwards led the charge with a dominant 40-point performance, including 31 points in the final two quarters. This victory propels the Timberwolves to the Western Conference Semifinals for the first time since 2004. They now await the winner of the Denver Nuggets and Los Angeles Lakers series.
Knicks on the Brink
The New York Knicks are on the cusp of the Eastern Conference Semifinals after defeating the Philadelphia 76ers 97-92. Jalen Brunson etched his name in Knicks’ history books with a playoff career-high 47 points – the most ever scored by a Knicks player in a postseason game. This win gives the Knicks a commanding 3-1 series lead. They have a chance to close it out at home in Madison Square Garden on Tuesday night. Tyrese Maxey (23 points) and Joel Embiid (27 points, 10 rebounds, 6 assists) put up a valiant effort for the 76ers, but it wasn’t enough.
Clippers Claw Back in Dallas
The Los Angeles Clippers battled back from a 31-point deficit to steal a crucial 116-111 victory over the Dallas Mavericks in Dallas. The Clippers looked comfortable early, building a significant lead. However, the Mavericks staged a dramatic comeback, setting the stage for a thrilling finish. Paul George and James Harden stepped up in the clutch, combining for 33 points in the final five minutes to secure the win for the Clippers. This ties the series at 2-2, with Game 5 heading back to Los Angeles. Luka Doncic (29 points, 10 rebounds, 10 assists) and Kyrie Irving (40 points) led the scoring effort for the Mavericks, but it wasn’t enough to overcome the late Clippers surge.
