Andrew Wiggins has ice in his veins.

With no timeouts and 4.7 remaining on the clock, the Minnesota Timberwolves swingman sprinted down the court and pulled up for a deep, deep 3-pointer that banked in and sealed a 115-113 victory over the Oklahoma City Thunder.

Wiggins' shot immediately followed a 3-point dagger from Carmelo Anthony that gave his new club the lead.

But "Maple Jordan" made sure to spoil the Thunder's comeback efforts, potting 12 points in the final seven minutes Sunday, including these clutch buckets:

Wiggins finished with a team-high 27 points on 10-of-20 shooting to go along with seven boards, four assists, and two steals in Minnesota's second straight win.

Asked postgame if he called "bank" on the shot, Wiggins admitted he didn't, and Karl-Anthony Towns chimed in.

"He called 'game,'" KAT said.

Other current and former teammates took to Twitter to show Wiggins love for his late-game heroics.
