Robert Covington made a fall-away shot off an inbounds pass with 0.2 seconds left to give the Philadelphia 76ers a 93-91 victory over the Minnesota Timberwolves on Tuesday night.
The Sixers needed the late basket after they blew a 26-point lead and seemed headed to overtime. Ricky Rubio, just a 26 percent 3-point shooter, buried one with 1.6 seconds left that tied it at 91.
Dario Saric hit Covington, who had been booed most of the game, for the decisive bucket that sent the crowd into a frenzy.
Joel Embiid scored 25 points and Ersan Ilyasova had 19 for the Sixers.
