Minnesota faced the bad news of Russell’s foul out as it entered extra time. Wiggins scored with a cut-in dunk, but Taurin Prince scored an open three-point shot. In addition, Kyle Anderson blocked the pool’s layup and Edwards broke through Wiggins’ defense with a plotter.
In the ensuing attack, Tamson’s three-point shot did not go in and Draymond Green made a trawling. Edwards then scored a runaway run with a reverse layup. As a result, the grass quickly scored to maintain a close game, but Curry’s three-point shot did not go in.
Since then, Minnesota has won the Golds by 119-114, five points after Reed won an offensive rebound in the last attack.
