With 7:35 left in the game, the Thunder led the 76ers 99-97. And Billy Donovan inserted Jeremy Grant into the game, replacing Josh Huestis.
On the court already were Russell Westbrook, Steven Adams, Raymond Felton and Carmelo Anthony. Seventy seconds later, Donovan replaced Felton with George, with OKC up 101-99.
And Donovan had his closing lineup. Donovan made no more substitutions as the Thunder spurted to a 122-112 victory.
“If he chooses to put me out there at the end of the game, I’m going to do what I have to do to help us win,” Grant said.
