Sam Mitchell makes Andrew Wiggins the Wolves' go-to guy

With the clock running down in a tie game against the Thunder on March 11, Andrew Wiggins drove down the right side of the lane. Drawing defenders, he rifled the ball out to Ricky Rubio behind the three-point line. Rubio, wide open, hit, giving the Wolves their first win in Oklahoma City since 2008.

Three days later in Phoenix, the Wolves down two very late, Wiggins almost effortlessly got to the rim and scored, despite an apparent foul by Alex Len, to tie the score with 4 seconds left, only to have Mirza Teletovic’s parabolic three-pointer spoil a happy ending.
