Kings @ Timberwolves - Monday, Jan. 27 - 5PT/8ET

[kingdivac]

Re-watching the highlights, the Kings have now done something I've never seen in the NBA - a team winning after being down 15 pts at the 2:05 mark in the 4th Q. Previously a long while back the Kings lost a Playoff game against the T-Wolves up 12 pts at the 2:12 mark. This Kings team just beat that mark by 3pts.....granted it took overtime to do it, but still. Remarkable!I

I will not forget that old loss, for how angry and disappointed it made me.

This play by play is missing something. 106 - 84 then 108 - 95 with a Buddy 3. thats an 11-2 run with just one 3 pointer?

Look at the time quotes. I didn't do a complete PBP until later on. I didn't intend to do one now. It just felt right.

 

[VF21]

I'll be honest. I needed this game to remind me why I LOVE THIS TEAM.

In the last 30 seconds of the game, there was a change in Buddy and Fox's demeanor. It's subtle but it's there. There was absolutely NO WAY in freaking Hades they were going to lose this game.

When Fox is fouled at the 7.4 second mark, Fox and Buddy come together before Fox heads to the line. They say something and Buddy taps Fox on his chest (over his heart) as he (Buddy) heads to the bench.

During the challenge, with the whole team on the sidelines, Buddy keeps glancing around, then at his shoes and then up to the sky. Fox heads to the line. Misses the first; makes the second.

According to ESPN stats & info: NBA teams were 0-8,378 since 1996-97 when trailing by 17 or more in the final 3 minutes of the fourth quarter or overtime.

IIRC the KINGS accomplished something similar against the Clippers a couple seasons ago. They were down 18 with under 5 min remaining and won.

"The Kings are the 'one' in 1-8,378!"

Timberwolves use their final timeout and Grant/Doug talk about not allowing a three.

132-129

TWolves inbound with Fox, Barnes, CoJo. Bogs and Bazemore on the court.

Wolves miss; Bazemore grabs the board and is fouled.

3.6 seconds left

Bazemore misses the first; makes the second.

Kings history is made.

Fox and Buddy on the sideline after the game, before Buddy heads for the headset and interview. They look like Webber and Vlade - a smile shared between two brothers full of respect.
