The New Orleans Pelicans beat the Oklahoma City Thunder 113-110, but not without one of the greatest endings to an NBA game in recent memory. OKC star SG Shai-Gilgeous Alexander tied the game at 110 with 1.4 seconds remaining, so all that the Pelicans could do was heave up a shot from beyond half-court, which NO SG Devonte’ Graham miraculously banked in for the win. It was a much-needed road win for NOLA, but that ending will resonate for quite some time.

  • Devonte’ Graham hit the longest (61 ft.) GW buzzer beater in the last 25 years
  • 1st game with 2+ game-tying/go-ahead FGM from 30+ ft in final 5 seconds of a game over the last 25 seasons
 
Odds vs. OKC: NO -160 (Spread -3.5)

THUNDER-PELICANS HAD 1 OF THE GREATEST ENDINGS TO AN NBA GAME EVER

A three-quarter court heave from Devonte’ Graham capped one of the greatest endings to an NBA game in recent memory, as NO won a hard-fought battle between two teams stuck at the bottom of the Western Conference standings. The crowd in OKC was left in shock, and Thunder players were in disbelief after its improbable game-tying shot. NOLA continues to try to stay afloat without star PF Zion Williamson, while OKC is struggling immensely through the second year of its full-fledged rebuild. 

An all-time ending in OKC
