Watch: Timberwolves' Julius Randle drills game-winning three at buzzer vs. Suns

By Adam Gretz | Last updated Nov 17, 2024 6:58 PM ET

When the Minnesota Timberwolves traded Karl-Anthony Towns to the New York Knicks just before the start of the 2024-25 NBA season, Julius Randle was one of the key pieces of the return.

He made a huge impact in their 120-117 win over the Phoenix Suns on Sunday afternoon by drilling a game-winning, three-point shot at the buzzer.

It was, quite honestly, a work of art.

Along with the game-winning shot, Randle also had a season-high 35 points.

After winning 56 games a year ago and finishing with the second-best record in the Western Conference it has been a slow start for the Timberwolves this season. Sunday's game improved them to 8-6 through the first 14 games this season. They have now won two games in a row.
