A Timberwolves fan's courtside catch of an out-of-bounds ball in Game 4 of the Western Conference Finals against the Thunder gave Minnesota an extra 0.3 seconds for a final shot. Despite the fan's actions being praised by Thunder MVP Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, the Timberwolves turned the ball over, losing 128-126 and falling into a 3-1 series deficit. The fan's actions, compared to the infamous Steve Bartman incident, ultimately did not change the game's outcome, leaving the Timberwolves facing elimination.
