Late in Wednesday's Timberwolves win over the Spurs, Jaylen Nowell took off for a dunk over San Antonio center Jakob Poeltl. Nowell wasn't sure when he began his jump that he'd make it.
"I was about to lay it up, but I realized I jumped forward," Nowell said. "I was closer to the rim than I thought, so I just went to the side. I didn't think I was gonna finish over him, so I had to move it to the side a little bit, and you know, I got there. It was dope."
Soon after, fans in Target Center were chanting "Jay-len, Jay-len" as Nowell scored 23 points.
