After rallying from 26 down to tie the game on a rare Ricky Rubio 3-pointer, the Minnesota Timberwolves had to feel like it was simply their night.
Robert Covington and the Philadelphia 76ers had other ideas, responding to the deflating Rubio bucket with a game-winning lob play out of a timeout.
Never one to be overshadowed, Joel Embiid's celebratory collapse was almost as good as the play, itself.
