Three stars from Tuesday's NBA playoff game

Edwards scored or assisted on five of Minnesota's final six baskets, exactly the kind of performance they needed to close out games. 

While he made some mistakes, with six turnovers and five fouls, including a brutal foul on a Doncic three late, Edwards was exactly the energetic force the Timberwolves needed with their backs against the wall.

He was also a delight wearing a microphone for Game 4. We can't remember another "Audio Assist" segment where an All-Star barked after getting a tie up.

Minnesota Timberwolves forward Karl-Anthony Towns | 25 points, four 3PM

In a series where he was shooting remarkably poorly, Karl-Anthony Tows came through in a big way in Game 4. He shot 9-for-13 from the field and 4-for-5 from three-point range, scoring 25 points on just 13 shots. Along with his four triples, he also had a three-point play.

Did he commit some dumb fouls? Certainly. Did he look like he was on the verge of tears while complaining about the hardly-controversial whistles? Every single time. But he didn't let the fouls, the benching or the poor shooting through the series hurt his confidence. 

He often played like he had rocks in his head while committing offensive fouls, but he shot the ball like he had ice water in his veins.

Minnesota Timberwolves coach Chris Finch | One technical, one win

Coaching through a serious knee injury, Finch had an impressive game leading the Timberwolves. He looked more mobile than he had for the remainder of the conference finals, limping around on the sidelines, showing no fear that Mike Conley would crash into him again. And he coached with the recklessness that Minnesota needed down 3-0.

First, he wasn't scared off of Karl-Anthony Towns' foul trouble. Many coaches would have benched Towns after his fourth foul early in the third quarter, but Finch kept him in and got an 8-0 run out of it. 

After Towns committed his fifth, Finch made sure to get a technical foul himself, defusing his players' anger at the officials by drawing the "T" himself.

He also called a great game late. When Luka Doncic missed a free throw in the final seconds, Finch got a timeout called before Dallas could foul the erratic Rudy Gobert. Off that timeout, Finch called a play that got Naz Reid an open run to the basket. 

Why worry about free throws when you can get a layup instead?

If Minnesota pulls off another win, we might see Finch dancing on the sidelines, no matter what shape his knee is in.
