D’Angelo Russell scored a game-winning layup in the final seconds and finished with 27 points off the bench to lead the Minnesota Timberwolves past the Utah Jazz, 105-104, Monday night in Minneapolis.
It was Minnesota’s second consecutive win over the Jazz (44-17) in three days. The only good news for Utah in that three-day span is that it became the first team to clinch a playoff spot after Sunday’s action.
This victory had some similarities to Saturday’s win in Salt Lake City, with Minnesota falling behind by 18 points (17 on Saturday) but then rallying to take the lead midway through the contest and then holding on to beat the league-leading Jazz.
