Andrew Wiggins did not think his game-winning shot was going in
The Minnesota Timberwolves beat the Oklahoma City Thunder on Sunday 115-113 in one heck of a finish.
First Carmelo Anthony hit a 3-pointer to put the Thunder up by a point with under five seconds to go. Then it was Andrew Wiggins who responded by banking in a buzzer-beater to give Minnesota a 2-point win.

“I didn’t. I didn’t,” Wiggins said when asked if he thought it was going in.
Wiggins and teammate Ricky Rubio then celebrated on social media.
