Early in the fourth quarter, Timberwolves guard Mo Williams slapped the ball away from Jazz center Rudy Gobert. Williams gained control of the ball near halfcourt and approached the three-point line as Wiggins dashed toward the rim.

Hood tracked back on defense and leapt to defend the lob, but Wiggins timed his jump perfectly and snatched the ball out of the air before flushing it with two hands. Wiggins finished the game with 21 points on 10-for-19 shooting and five rebounds.

This is not the first time the 6-foot-8 forward has thrown down an impressive dunk this season. Last week against the Cavaliers, a game in which he scored a career-high 27 points, Wiggins produced another highlight when he jammed over forward Kevin Love.
