Postseason-hungry Thunder 'understand what's at stake' after narrow loss to Hornets

Jalen Williams stretched out the neckline of his jersey in frustration as he looked at the scoreboard.

It read 137-134 in favor of the Charlotte Hornets with zeros on the clock.

Williams’ 3-point heave at the buzzer rimmed out, sealing the Oklahoma City Thunder's narrow loss at Paycom Center on Tuesday. It’s a heartbreaking defeat for OKC, which mounted a late comeback after trailing by 13 points midway through the fourth quarter.

“The resilience was really good,” Thunder head coach Mark Daigneault said.
