The Minnesota Timberwolves pulled off the NBA's largest overtime comeback ever, erasing a 13-point deficit in the final minutes of regulation and then holding off the Houston Rockets 110-108. No other NBA team has overcome such a big deficit since play-by-play records began in 1997-98. Coach Chris Finch acknowledged the adversity, stating, 'We should've won that game in regulation. We deserved to win that game.' The win keeps the Wolves a half-game behind Denver for fourth place in the Western Conference and evens their season series with Houston.

Anthony Edwards missed his fifth straight game with knee trouble, and key backup Ayo Dosunmu was out with a sore calf. Rookie Julius Randle carried the load, scoring 24 points after halftime and defending Kevin Durant. Rudy Gobert fouled out after a steely 14-point, 14-rebound, five-block performance. The team overcame poor foul shooting (only 10 free throws on 63 attempts) and a 11-point lead blown late in regulation. Naz Reid was ejected early in overtime, and fans began leaving the Target Center. The Wolves' resilience shone through, particularly after a stunning 26-2 run by Houston capped by Alperen Sengun's dunk.

Randle's clutch play sealed the victory, including a pull-up shot with 8.8 seconds left. Finch praised the team's character: 'We've got real competitors in here, guys who want the challenge.' The win is a significant statement for a team battling injuries and adversity heading into the playoffs.
