It was another electric NBA Playoffs battle on Monday night. While the Oklahoma City Thunder led most of the game, the Minnesota Timberwolves continued to battle back, taking things down to the final possession. Ultimately, the title favorites won out, and OKC secured a 128-126 victory.

A massive performance from Shai Gilgeous-Alexander led the way, while Anthony Edwards struggled to get anything going. Despite the star performance disparity, the Timberwolves took it down to the wire, but a loss is a loss. They’ll try to save their season on Wednesday in Oklahoma City.

Game 5 is set to tip off on Wednesday at 8:30 p.m. ET. The Thunder open as 8.5-point favorites at home on the DraftKings Sportsbook. Oklahoma City is at -375 on the moneyline as well. The over/under is set at 220.5. We’ll see if the Wolves can keep their hopes alive and force a Game 6.
