Thunder at Denver Nuggets Game Recap – April 9, 2017
DENVER – The ball had to come in bounds, but Russell Westbrook wasn’t open yet. 2.9 seconds is enough time for a pass and a shot, right? Enough time for a game-winning 36-footer? Enough time to make history? For Westbrook, the answer to those types of questions has been an emphatic “why not?” all season long, and this afternoon in Denver he responded once again.
Kyle Singler got the ball in to Steven Adams, and Westbrook shook free with one quick darting move, caught the ball and in one motion rose and buried his three-pointer to erase a 14-point fourth quarter deficit and seal a 106-105 come from behind victory.
