Bradley Beal 's missed three - pointer with a second left sent the game into the first overtime in a 109 - 109 deadlock . The fifth quarter saw the two teams trade the advantage multiple times , and then a Zach LaVine 29 - foot three - pointer with 11 seconds left tied matters up at 121 .

The second overtime period saw Minnesota score the last four points of the game over the final 43 seconds , as Jared Dudley missed a pair of three - pointers and Marcin Gortat was unable to drain either of his two free - throw attempts for the Wizards over that span .
