SAN FRANCISCO -- Down by three with 1.6 seconds left in the fourth quarter, the Oklahoma City Thunder were looking for just a little bit of luck to extend the game five minutes longer Saturday night against the Golden State Warriors.
Josh Giddey inbounded the ball to center Chet Holmgren, who stood in the right corner of the 3-point line with Andrew Wiggins pushed right up against him. Holmgren turned to face the basket and launched a shot toward the hoop.
Maybe Holmgren got lucky, but Thunder coach Mark Daigneault said it was exactly how they drew up the play.
