SACRAMENTO – By his own admission he couldn’t hit a thing from behind the arc all night, but when it counted Russell Westbrook knocked down the one that mattered.
In what was an astonishing, yet familiar sight for Thunder fans, Westbrook careened around the top of the arc behind a Steven Adams screen and with just one second left buried a three-pointer from the top of the key. The quick-trigger jumper broke a tie with the Sacramento Kings and lifted the Thunder to a 110-107 victory to commence the home stretch of the 2017-18 season.
“I caught it clean enough,” Westbrook smirked.
