Thunder stifle Anthony Edwards to move one win from NBA finals

• Oklahoma City Thunder 128-126 Minnesota Timberwolves

• OKC lead best-of-seven Western Conference finals 3-1

• Edwards limited to 16 points; SGA scores 40

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander had 40 points, 10 rebounds and nine assists in a steely performance befitting the NBA MVP, and the Oklahoma City Thunder snapped back from a 42-point loss by beating the Minnesota Timberwolves 128-126 in Game 4 on Monday night to take a 3-1 lead in the Western Conference finals.

Jalen Williams scored 34 points on 13-for-24 shooting, including 6 of 9 from three-point range, and Chet Holmgren added 21 points, seven rebounds and three blocks in a statement game in his hometown that helped the Thunder stave off several pushes by the Wolves to tie the series.
