2014 NBA Playoffs: Oklahoma City Thunder's wild ride
KD Interrupted
Kevin Durant stepped to the free throw line with 27 seconds left in Game 5, with the Thunder trailing by two. An 88 percent free career throw shooter, Durant calmly drained the first attempt.
Referee Joey Crawford bounced him the ball for his second, and Durant went through his routine of two dribbles, a spin of the ball and a shimmy.
All of a sudden, the whistle blew. Durant popped his head up confused and Crawford snatched the ball from his hands. A discrepancy on the scoreboard involving fouls set Crawford off, and he wanted it corrected at that very moment.
Durant missed his second attempt, and the Grizzlies won by a single point, 100-99.
Said Grizzlies guard Mike Conley: "I looked at KD and we were just like, 'What is Joey doing?' But hey, I guess it worked at the end of the night."
