Drama. Excitement. High-Pressure.
In a game that had all the ingredients of a game of the year candidate, the Thunder took the early blows yet stuck together. The Minnesota Timberwolves hit the Thunder with their best punches until the final knockout blow was given from Andrew Wiggins with no time to answer. Watch:
Carmelo Anthony, on the previous play, had drained a three that gave the Thunder a 113-112 lead with just four seconds remaining. Wiggins received the inbounds pass and his teammate Karl-Anthony Towns spring him free with a pick on Paul George, and was able to work the ball to the middle of the floor and launched an off-balance trey that banked off the glass and in for the game-winner.
