Despite the Minnesota Timberwolves still leading the series 3-2, the wind behind their sails has greatly diminished.
During their 112-96 Game 4 win, both Anthony Edwards and Donte DiVincenzo went down with devastating injuries that will sideline them through this series and more.
Edwards hyperextended his knee in the second quarter, while DiVincenzo tore his right Achilles.
With Minnesota's string of injuries, guards Ayo Dosunmu and Bones Hyland have been called up as the next men up for big minutes.
Dosunmu finished Game 4 with a stellar 43 points while shooting 76.5% from the field, along with hitting all 12 of his free throws.
Hyland has also begun playing 20 or more minutes since Edwards and DiVincenzo went down.
