With just over six seconds left in overtime in a tie game, it seemed like the Kings' best-case scenario was to force a second extra period.
The Nuggets inbounded the ball to Nikola Jokic above the 3-point line. Jokic had the ball poked away by Harrison Barnes, which started a fast-break and a race against the clock. Barnes tried to put Sacramento ahead with a dunk but missed, but Buddy Hield was there for a tip-in follow-up at the buzzer as the Kings pulled out a wild season-opening win.
That Sacramento was even in a tie game heading into the final possession was a minor miracle.
