Russell Westbrook pump-faked and eyed the basket from the left wing.
“No!” a fan yelled.
The same fan had dissuaded him from shooting his last 3-point shot, which he missed with two minutes on the clock. Yet again, Westbrook ignored his advice.
This time, Westbrook drained the 3-pointer to tie the game.
The Thunder went on to snap its four-game losing streak with a 99-95 win over the Grizzlies at Chesapeake Energy Arena on Sunday. After struggling with his shot all game and heaving up three misses from three-point range in the fourth quarter alone, Westbrook snapped into closer mode in the last minute of the game.
