The win was just the second in eight games for the Timberwolves and snapped a four-game winning streak for the Thunder.

Wiggins didn't exactly make it easy on Minnesota, though, missing three critical free throws in the final 1:36 to help keep Oklahoma City in the game.

The teams traded the lead four times in the final minutes, with Russell Westbrook putting Oklahoma City up with 23 seconds remaining before Wiggins finished on the other end.

While Westbrook and Paul George had been the Thunder's primary offensive weapons in the game, Oklahoma City instead turned a different direction on the next possession out of a timeout.

Westbrook drove toward the basket before kicking out to Alex Abrines, who was open for a 3-pointer. But the shot missed the mark, Wiggins grabbed the rebound and was fouled.

He made one of two, giving the Thunder one last chance, but George's desperation 3-pointer hit off the top of the backboard to end the game.

George had 31 points and 11 rebounds to lead Oklahoma City. Westbrook had 23 points, 11 rebounds and 10 assists for his 113th career triple-double.
