The clash between Oklahoma City Thunder and Minnesota Timberwolves had one of the most exciting game endings of the season and Chris Paul‘s keen eye was decisive for the final outcome of the game, despite his strategy being heavily questioned by NBA fans.

The key moment came with 1.1 seconds to the end of the game. With Timberwolves winning 121-119, Karl Anthony Towns was preparing to shoot two free-throws that would virtually seal the victory for Minnesota. But…

Towns miss the first-throw. And then before the second try his teammate Jordan Bell enters the game. But he had not tucked in his jersey before coming onto the floor, which is a violation. That was the second delay-violation of the Timberwolves which triggered an automatic technical free-throw for the Thunder.

Who noticed the whole situation was the Oklahoma City Thunder star, point guard Chris Paul who literally started yelling at the referees for Timberwolves’ punishment. Below is the exact key moment for what would come next:

Danilo Gallinari converted the free throw for the Thunder reducing to 1 point difference. The game returned to Karl Anthony Towns’s remaining free-throw. who still had a chance to effectively ice the game by simply missing his second free-throw intentionally. Instead, Towns accidentally made his attempt which gave the chance for Steve Adams’s fantastic pass for Dennis Schröder to force the tie and secure overtime.

Unreal. Jeff Teague gets an inexplicable delay of game making it only a one-point TWolves lead. No timeouts for OKC.

To make Minnesota history worse, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander played very well in extra time scoring 11 points and securing victory for Oklahoma City Thunder by 131 to 127. In an after-game interview, Chris Paul said he was aware that the second delay-violation committed by Timberwolves would guarantee a free-throw to his team and that if he did not complain about it the officials, as always, would let the violation slide and not call it.
