Overview
- Minnesota, which won Game 4 on Saturday 112-96, took a 3-1 series lead despite first‑half injuries to both starting guards.
- Coach Chris Finch confirmed Donte DiVincenzo suffered a torn right Achilles that ends his postseason after he went down 79 seconds in and left in a wheelchair.
- Anthony Edwards injured his left knee late in the second quarter, was ruled out for the night, and will undergo imaging to learn how severe it is.
- Ayo Dosunmu came off the bench for 43 points on 13-of-17 shooting and 12-of-12 free throws to power the win with Minnesota’s backcourt depleted.
- Game 5 is set for Monday in Denver, and the Wolves will lean more on Dosunmu, Mike Conley and Bones Hyland with DiVincenzo out and Edwards’ status unclear.
