The Oklahoma City Thunder lost to the Memphis Grizzlies 111-105 in overtime in Game 2 of the first round of the playoffs, but they only managed to get that far because of Kevin Durant, who hit the most ridiculous shot of the year in the fourth quarter.
With 13.3 seconds left in regulation and down 98-93, Durant found himself in the corner to catch a pass from Russell Westbrook. With Marc Gasol draped all over him, Durant lost balance and was on his way out of bounds, but somehow managed to get a shot off in the process. Here is what followed:
One video-game 3-pointer made. And one.
It was an unbelievable conversion, and it darn near broke twitter in the process. Here are some notable reactions from players around the league:
KD cold

That’s a terrible foul call. Laughable. Makes for a great game, but that’s awful.
