Wiggins scored 31 points, including the game winning shot
In a battle of young teams trying to make it, Andrew Wiggins and the Minnesota Timberwolves came out on top Tuesday night against the Phoenix Suns. With the Suns up 111-100 on the final possession, Wiggins took the final shot at the buzzer. He lost his balance on the drive, but was still able to regain composure to hit the jumper.

Wiggins, who is only 21 years old, finished the night with 31 points, six rebounds, and three assists. He was not lacking any confidence in his post-game interview, either.
