Yeah, the Thunder beat the Nuggets 129 to 126, and that might seem straightforward.

It was not.

This was not straightforward at all.

Shea hit a step back three that we thought was the dagger.

It put the Thunder up by four.

There's not a lot of time left on the clock.

It just felt like the Nuggets were sunk.

And then a play happens that J. Will told me in the locker room was one of the dumbest plays of his life after playing maybe one of the best games of his life.

Jokic makes a three above the break.

And as they are, as this three is going in, J. Will is kind of tussling with Jamal Murray after a pin down screen and knocks him over and they call a foul away from the ball, which means you get a free throw.

And Jamal Murray, I think everybody who has any knowledge of Jamal Murray's season is like edge of their seat immediately.

Because this dude, he's had such bad luck at the free throw line in moments like this.

He sinks it and you think, wow, okay, there's eight and a half seconds left.

Timeout Thunder.

Thunder get the ball.

They run a play to get Shea the ball and Shea takes another step back three this time to the right side, right here, right there on the court.

Nice camera movement.

Makes the shot and like...

Just gives the deuces to the Nuggets.

I mean, he basically hit two game winners in this game.
