00:00Minnesota wins game number four last night on the road in Dallas 105 100. The

00:09T-Wolves winning outright as a short one and a half point underdog. Even money

00:13plus 100 on the money line. Dallas minus 118 on the other side and a total that

00:20closed at 211 stays under. Minnesota's first victory in the Western Conference

00:25Finals. The first under in the four games of the WCF as well. Something may

00:30be correlated in there and Donnie a return to form for both Anthony Edwards

00:34and Carl Anthony Towns last night. The two superstars for Minnesota combined

00:39for 54 points. The T-Wolves stave off elimination. Yeah surprised they won last

00:44night. I really am because I didn't like what I saw over the first three games

00:47which included you know there's one thing to be said Ben about your two best

00:51players playing great basketball and you losing games. You know throw your hands

00:54up what are you gonna do? The other team is just better but what we were

00:57seeing out of the Minnesota Timberwolves was their superstar players not matching

01:00the superstars on the Mavericks and last night they outdid them and how about

01:03this Carl Anthony Towns and a much maligned Carl Anthony Towns who

01:07self-proclaimed the best big-name shooter of all time couldn't find and

01:11you know hit water out of a boat at this point. Well you're saying to yourself 9

01:15of 13 Ben from the field 30 minutes and 4 or 5 from three-point range which

01:18included a perfect three of three from the field free throw line 25 points. That

01:22is exactly what you needed and how many times do we talk about Anthony Edwards

01:26early in the series. Hey Ant get off the three-point line you're a dominant

01:29athlete get to the rim 205 from three-point range that's what you want

01:33to see. So I have to keep the defense honest let them know you're gonna shoot

01:35the three-point shot and make a fair amount of them which 205 you'll take

01:38each and every night but the 29 points coming from being aggressive with 25

01:42chances at the rim and also keep in mind having those 10 rebounds and 9 assists

01:47on offense. He was a part of the entire game flow which you needed to see. Now

01:51they got that first win do we still think the Minnesota Timberwolves are

01:54going to win the series? Absolutely not I don't think they are but that was a

01:57big win last night that I didn't anticipate and they rose up and played a

02:00quality fourth quarter which included once again Carl Anthony Towns midway

02:04through that fourth quarter knocking down back-to-back triples that was a

02:07massive sign just to put some you know what I can shoot the three-point shot in

02:11big moments and make these shots good win by the TeeWolves.
