ORIGINAL: Karl Juhnke Randle gets his first signature moment as a Timberwolf with a game winner at the buzzer. Replay showed how close it was. Looked like .1 second when it left his hand. I love how Booker was whining for a call because Randle pushed a defender out of the way to get the shot. When Booker had done the same thing seconds earlier driving for a shot. Mind you I don’t fault Booker’s play. That’s a veteran knowing the situation and knowing the refs aren’t going to whistle down that play unless he outright punches someone. But then Randle in turn showed his smarts too by recognizing “okay they didn’t call Booker, they sure as heck won’t have the guts to call me seconds later on my home court. So he did what he had to do. They were posting the odds on winning those last 2 versus Sac and Phx in the last 4 minutes.....we were less than 10% on both and won both. Amazing late game finishes.
