The Oklahoma City Thunder defeated the Philadelphia 76ers on the road, 117-115. In a back and forth game where OKC continuously stretched their lead only to see the Sixers catch up again, it game down to a final sequence which may go down as one of the more dramatic in the NBA this season.
After Joel Embiid (31 points, 11-19 shooting, 8 rebounds, 6 assists) was fouled by Russell Westbrook on a 3-point attempt (Westbrook’s 6 foul), the Thunder had 20 seconds to try and win the game. Then all this happened:
Paul “Swingin’ at the knees” George finished the game with 31, and 14 of those came in the 4th quarter on 4-7 shooting, 3-4 from three, and 3-3 on free throws.
