MINNEAPOLIS — Michael Porter Jr. stood beneath the path of the basketball, between a miracle shot’s birthplace and its resting place. Even before it sailed over his head, he was in full “Gladiator” mode, arms outstretched prematurely, basking in the glory of the arc. Minnesota was not entertained. “I just had a good angle to see the trajectory of the shot,” Porter told The Denver Post.
