The resolution rules clearly outline the specific point margin required for the Heat to win the market (5 or more points) versus the Timberwolves. Standard exceptions such as postponements and full cancellations are accounted for directly with explicit fallback outcomes. While no specific official box score URL is listed, the outcome of an official NBA game is an objective, standardized public record leaving minimal room for decider latitude or disputed interpretation.
