Watch: Wiggins knocks down 3 to force OT vs. Hornets

Jesse Johnson / USA TODAY Sports

Down three with the game winding down, the Minnesota Timberwolves looked to Andrew Wiggins.

The team's leading scorer answered in the clutch, pulling up behind the arc and drilling a 3-pointer to force overtime against the Charlotte Hornets.

The visitors, who outscored the Hornets 18-9 in the final five minutes of regulation, rode that momentum in the extra frame to pull out a 125-120 victory.

Wiggins finished with a game-high 29 points to go along with four assists and three steals, as he helped his team end its four-game losing skid and improve to 6-14 on the season.

Leave it to the Canadian to have ice in his veins.
