Randle's buzzer-beater 3 lifted the Wolves to a win over the Suns Sunday afternoon.
over the Phoenix Suns Sunday afternoon in Minneapolis. It was his game, and his moment — Randle's first signature performance in Minnesota.Joe Ingles checked into the game for the first time to inbound the ball. His first look was Anthony Edwards on a curl to try and get him to the rim, Randle said. If that wasn't there, Randle would flash to the ball. That's how the play went down, and Randle caught the ball well beyond the 3-point arc.
Randle's wife, Kendra, and sons Kyden and Jacey were among the sold-out Target Center crowd. Randle said Jacey, just 3 years old, doesn't come to many games. It's too loud, and he doesn't like it. But he got to see dad hit the game-winner. "I think this is maybe his second game he's come to. He hates them," Randle said. "For me to hit the shot — my oldest is always here — but for him to be here and hit the shot in front of him was pretty cool."The whole game belonged to Randle, who finished his day with 35 points, seven assists, four rebounds a steal and a team-best plus-minus of plus-16. And two buzzer beaters. The first half ended with a 3 from Randle as time expired.
