The Minnesota Timberwolves and San Antonio Spurs are set to face off in a pivotal Game 4 of their NBA Playoffs series, and the stakes couldn't be higher. After a hard-fought 115-108 victory in Game 3, the Spurs now hold a 2-1 series lead, putting the Timberwolves on the brink of falling behind 3-1. If you're looking to catch all the action live, here's everything you need to know about the broadcast details, start time, and what to expect from this thrilling matchup.
For San Antonio, the story continues to be the otherworldly play of rookie sensation Victor Wembanyama. After setting a playoff blocks record in Game 1, Wembanyama delivered another jaw-dropping performance in Game 3, pouring in 39 points to go along with 15 rebounds and 5 blocks. He's been a force on both ends of the floor, and the Spurs have leaned heavily on his versatility. Guard Stephon Castle also stepped up, contributing 13 points and dishing out 12 assists to provide a steady hand in the backcourt.
On the Minnesota side, the Timberwolves finally got a healthy Anthony Edwards back in the lineup. After playing on a minutes restriction in the first two games, Edwards was unleashed in Game 3, logging 41 minutes and delivering a monster stat line: 32 points, 14 rebounds, and 6 assists, leading the team in all three categories. His return to full strength gives Minnesota a fighting chance, but the team will need to tighten up its defense, especially in transition. The Spurs capitalized on Timberwolves mistakes, scoring 15 points off turnovers and adding 13 fast-break points in Game 3.
For Minnesota to even the series, they'll also need to dominate the glass. The Timberwolves grabbed 15 offensive rebounds in Game 3 compared to just eight for the Spurs, giving them extra scoring opportunities. If they can replicate that effort while slowing down Wembanyama, they have a real shot at tying the series before heading back to San Antonio.
Game 4 tips off at 7:30 p.m. ET from the Target Center in Minneapolis, Minnesota. The game will be broadcast nationally on NBC, and for those who prefer to stream, it will be available live on Peacock. Peacock subscribers can also catch a wide range of other live sports, including NFL Sunday Night Football, Premier League soccer, Big Ten football and basketball, and more.
Whether you're a die-hard fan or just tuning in for the playoff drama, this game promises to be a must-watch. With the Timberwolves fighting to avoid a 3-1 deficit and the Spurs looking to seize control, expect intensity, highlight-reel plays, and plenty of emotion from the opening tip to the final buzzer.
