SEATTLE - It's a win-or-go-home situation for the Minnesota Timberwolves in Game 5 of the Western Conference Finals. The Timberwolves' best season in 20 years depends on the type of game they play after getting a five-point win over the Dallas Mavericks to force another game in the series.
It will be a monumental task for Minnesota, as no team in the history of the NBA playoffs has come back from a 3-0 deficit to win a best-of-7 series, and only 11 out of 115 teams forced a Game 6. If they want a shot at making history, they will need the best version of themselves, but many eyes will be on Karl-Anthony Towns.
