The Minnesota Timberwolves trailed the Mavericks, 3-0, in the Western Conference Finals. But that didn’t matter much on Tuesday night.
History tells us that a team trailing 3-0 during a series in the NBA postseason has never overcome the deficit to advance. But never tell Timberwolves star Anthony Edwards the odds.
During Minnesota’s Game 4 against the Mavericks, Edwards was mic’d up by TNT’s broadcasting team. At one point, he was fighting for a loose ball when it became clear that the former No. 1 overall pick was literally barking while in the scramble.

Minnesota went on to narrowly win the game as Edwards scored a game-high 29 points, adding 10 rebounds and nine assists during the contest as well.
It was as necessary of a victory as you will see as the Timberwolves had their backs against the wall trailing by as many games and facing what could have been the end of their season while on the road.
Instead, they showed tremendous fight during a great game and went on to secure the impressive victory.
