2014 NBA Playoffs: Oklahoma City Thunder's wild ride
Stealing The Show
After miraculously surviving Game 4 in Memphis behind a career-high 32 points from Reggie Jackson, who outscored Westbrook and Durant combined, the Thunder appeared to have weathered the Grizzly storm as the series shifted back to OKC for a pivotal Game 5.
But after an offensive rebound by Tayshaun Prince, the Grizzlies held a two-point lead with 28 seconds left. Without any timeouts and a four-second differential on the shot clock, the Thunder inexplicably chose to play out the possession.
And that's when Russell Westbrook happened.
With six seconds remaining, Westbrook gambled and picked Conley's pocket. Somehow, with a clean breakaway all to himself, Westbrook resisted the urge to try a 360 tomahawk, instead opting for a simple two-handed lay-in to tie the game at 90 with four seconds left -- cuing the fourth straight overtime in the series.
