The Minnesota Timberwolves took the court against the Phoenix Suns as the favorite to win the game on Saturday. At last, the Wolves secured a thrilling 120-117 victory over the Phoenix Suns at the Target Center by dint of a game-winning shot from Julius Randle. The dramatic finish capped off a heart-pounding final sequence. With the clock showing no time left, Randle delivered the final blow and sealed the win for the Timberwolves.
However, during the crucial moment, the commentators noted something that many fans might have missed. According to commentators, just before Randle’s game-winning shot, Suns player Josh Okogie appeared to attempt a flop, trying to draw a foul on Randle.
“Great decision by Joe Ingles to wait until Donte’s cleared. Josh Okogie tried to flop on it, and Julius just let him have it right between the eyes,” one commentator said.
