4. Andrew Wiggins @ Oklahoma City Thunder (Oct. 22, 2017)

27 points (10-20 FG, 2-7 3PT), 7 rebounds, 4 assists, 2 steals

Just three games into the season, Andrew Wiggins gifted Wolves fans a memory that will remain forever in the folklore of the franchise history.

That is the definition of clutch.

It wasn’t just the end of the game that Wiggins was damaging, however, as the full array of offensive brilliance was shown throughout the night. The 22-year-old had the analytics-hated mid-range jumper dropping, and was deadly when he decided to attack the rim.

Maple Jordan also chipped-in around the court, grabbing boards and dishing helpers in a crazy Wolves win. Not to mention his helpful defensive showing against some of the most dangerous offensive players in the league.

And that win can be directly correlated to Andrew Wiggins massive game, and his massive shot to finish it.
