IN THE BUILDING | Spurs vs. Timberwolves Game 4 POST-GAME REACTION | 2026 NBA Playoffs Western Conference Semifinals

Mike Taylor and Rudy Jay are back LIVE with your full post-game breakdown from Game 4 of the Western Conference Semifinals. The Spurs came into tonight leading this series 2-1 with a chance to put Minnesota's back against the wall on their home floor — and the entire basketball world is watching. We have got the full reaction, the biggest plays, and everything you need to know heading into Game 5.

WHERE THIS SERIES STANDS

The Spurs have won two straight and all the momentum is on San Antonio's side. Victor Wembanyama delivered an absolute masterpiece in Game 3 — 39 points, 15 rebounds, and five blocks — as the Spurs took a 115-108 victory in Minneapolis to seize the series lead. He went 13-of-18 from the floor and 10-of-12 from the line while his presence in the paint was suffocating all night.

Only Hakeem Olajuwon, Shaquille O'Neal, and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar had put up those numbers in a postseason game before Friday night — and Wembanyama got there faster than any of them, in just his seventh playoff game. We are watching something generational happen in real time.

Stephon Castle quietly put together one of the most efficient games of his young playoff career in Game 3, finishing with 13 points, 12 assists, and a team-high plus-17 rating, while De'Aaron Fox added 17 points. On the other side, Jaden McDaniels and Julius Randle combined to shoot just 8-of-34 from the floor, unable to get anything going against Wembanyama's rim protection.

Minnesota comes into tonight desperate. Anthony Edwards gave them everything he had in the loss — 32 points and 14 rebounds — and it still was not enough. Edwards hit a buzzer-beating 31-footer to end the first quarter, and the Wolves clawed back from missing their first 12 shots of the game to tie it at halftime, but San Antonio pulled away in the third quarter by going 6-of-10 from three.

THE INJURY FACTOR

Minnesota is playing shorthanded and they have been all series. Anthony Edwards has been battling a knee injury that sidelined him late in the Denver series, and his status has been a question mark heading into every game. The Wolves need him healthy and they need more from the players around him. Naz Reid has been their best secondary option, but it has not been nearly enough against this Spurs defense.

ONE WIN FROM THE CONFERENCE FINALS

This Spurs team has answered every challenge thrown at them. They dropped Game 1 at home and responded with a 38-point blowout. They went into Minneapolis for Games 3 and 4 and took control of the series. Since losing back-to-back games in January, the Spurs went 40-9 — the equivalent of a 69-win season — and that same resiliency has defined every moment of this postseason run.

The Western Conference Finals are within reach. One more win and this young Spurs team makes history.
