WEB Mavs look to close out Wolves in Game 5

No team in the history of the NBA playoffs has come back from a 3-0 deficit to win a best-of-7 series.

Here are five takeaways from Game 4.

We've waited for a performance like this since the beginning of the season. The Mavericks came out with a sense of urgency and purpose in Game 4, and it showed in the final score. They were able to control the tempo of the game, and they never let the Wolves get into a rhythm. This was a complete team effort, and it was the kind of performance that the Mavericks need to build on if they want to make a deep playoff run.

The Mavericks were led by Luka Doncic, who had 29 points, 10 rebounds, and 9 assists. He was able to get to the rim at will, and he also hit some tough shots from the outside. Kristaps Porzingis also had a big game, with 22 points and 10 rebounds. He was able to stretch the floor with his shooting, and he also made some big plays on the defensive end.

The Timberwolves were led by Karl-Anthony Towns, who had 25 points and 10 rebounds. However, he was not able to get enough help from his teammates. Andrew Wiggins had a quiet game, with just 12 points on 4-of-14 shooting. D'Angelo Russell also struggled, with just 9 points on 3-of-12 shooting.

The Mavericks will now have a chance to close out the series in Game 5. They will be playing at home, and they will be looking to avoid a Game 6. The Timberwolves will need to find a way to win on the road, and they will need to play their best game of the series.
