Andrew Wiggins found his spot Tuesday night in the final seconds to sink the Timberwolves' first buzzer-beater in nearly five years.

The last-second field goal also snapped an almost 10-year drought since the Wolves hit a buzzer-beater when trailing in the game. The last player to do this was Kevin Garnett in March 2007.

"I was going to get there one way or the other," Wiggins said after the 112-111 victory over the Phoenix Suns. "I wasn't going to let them stop me. My mind was made up when I got the ball. I got to my spot. That's my shot."

Wiggins stumbled when he began his move to the basket, but found his balance and pulled up for the buzzer-beating jumper. At 21 years old, he is the youngest player with a buzzer-beater this season.

The game-winning shot earned the Wolves their third consecutive win and improved their record to 6-2 in the last eight games.

Ricky Rubio assisted Wiggins' game-winner, reversing their roles the last time the Wolves used a last-second shot to secure a win. Rubio broke the tie and beat Oklahoma City by hitting a three-pointer, assisted by Wiggins, with .2 seconds remaining, last March.

The Wolves had seven last-second or buzzer-beating (as time expired) game-winning shots before Tuesday night and since Garnett's buzzer-beater in 2007. The seven winning shots were each made with the teams tied in the final seconds. The Wolves trailed by one when Wiggins took the final shot Tuesday.

Chase Budinger beat Indiana with a go-ahead layup with .8 seconds left against Indiana in November 2012.

Luke Ridnour was responsible for the Wolves' last buzzer-beater in February 2012. He broke the tie and claimed the victory with an 8-foot jumper as time expired.

The 2012 calendar year produced four last-second winning shots for the Wolves. Kevin Love made two of the game-winners with a pair of free throws against Philadelphia in February and a buzzer-beating three-pointer against the Los Angeles Clippers in January.

Garnett hit four buzzer-beaters in his career with the Wolves, the first in April 2000, his fifth NBA season. Wiggins is in this third NBA season.
