Julius Randle hit the clutch shot over Josh Okogie to beat the buzzer. With only 2.7 seconds remaining in the fourth quarter, the Timberwolves and Suns were tied at 117-117.

Minnesota forward Joe Ingles was on inbound duty and was trying to look for an open man. Ingles eventually found Randle, who ultimately created some space to hit a 3-point shot from the top of the key to seal the game.

The Minnesota Timberwolves hosted the Phoenix Suns on Sunday. Unfortunately for the Suns, they came into the game without Bradley Beal and Kevin Durant by their side. However, Devin Booker proved to be a threat despite being the only star on his team.

Booker and the Suns put up a good fight thanks to the Suns guard's scoring performance. Booker added 44 points, seven assists and six rebounds while shooting 46.2% from beyond the arc and 51.7% overall. The Suns star put the entire team on his back as no one else in the lineup came close to his scoring efforts.

Despite Devin Booker's efforts to pull off a victory without his co-stars, Julius Randle and Anthony Edwards had other ideas. Randle was the main star of the show, with 35 points, seven assists and four rebounds. Meanwhile, Edwards put up 24 points, six assists and four rebounds.

"It felt good," Randle said about his game-winner in the post-game interview. "It's a shot I'm comfortable shooting. Coach trusted me, put me in a position to make a play, and I came through for the team."
