Stop us if you’ve heard this before: The Oklahoma City Thunder had a comeback win.
After trailing by 22 points with 10:21 to go in the game, the Thunder bench marched the team forward to beat the Miami Heat 116-115.
Mike Muscala hit the game-winning 3-pointer off an assist from Darius Bazley, who was double-teamed as he started to drive inside.
This basket, then Terrance Ferguson defense to halt the red-hot Tyler Herro, capped a 34-15 fourth-quarter performance, get the win, and lock up either the fourth or fifth seed, which means a first-round playoff date with the Houston Rockets.
Muscala only made two shots, but there was no better time for him to come up clutch as he drained the game-winner:
