The Oklahoma City Thunder avoided the upset when they escaped with a 111-109 win over the Portland Trail Blazers on Tuesday.
With 15 seconds left, Jalen Williams managed to work to the left elbow and hit a fadeaway jumper for the game-winner. The Trail Blazers attempted a sideline lob that failed on the final possession.
It was a struggle for Williams, by his standards, with 19 points on 9-of-20 shooting, but he turned it up in the fourth quarter with eight points to lead OKC to the win. This included hitting two of his four baskets in the final frame in the final 25 seconds.
