Two big baskets against Pelicans feed Jaden McDaniels' confidence

Wednesday's Timberwolves victory over the Pelicans was getting tight, as the Wolves saw a double-digit lead dwindle in the final minutes.

It might have ended differently if not for two important shots Jaden McDaniels hit in the final minutes. One was a mid-range jumper that came from the left slot that put the Wolves up eight with 2 minutes, 28 seconds to play. Then came a catch-and-shoot three-pointer that McDaniels buried to put the Wolves up seven with 1:24 left.

After the game, McDaniels expressed confidence in his shot in big moments.

"There was no hesitation," McDaniels said.
