Thunder vs. 76ers’ 3OT thriller was the best game this year. Here’s the 11 wildest moments.

The Oklahoma City Thunder and the Philadelphia 76ers played the best game of the entire year. It lasted three overtimes, and the Thunder finally outlasted the Sixers with a 119-117 final score. I can barely recap it for you, because it was sensational. Look, even LeBron James thought it was absurd.

We’re going to try our best to run down the highlights.

With a little more than two minutes to go, Embiid and Anthony got into it after an and-one foul from Anthony.

Moments later, not shown in that video, Embiid eggs on the crowd for more noise. It’s the little things.

This is the first tie. George missed a three-pointer off a Carmelo Anthony double team in the corner, and it was a decent look, although George was spotting up deep and had a defender closing out on him. The game is tied at 94.

With the game tied at 102, Westbrook drives for a potentially game-winning layup and misses it. Somehow, some way, Embiid recovers for the block.

What a recovery. The first overtime ends tied at 102.

Covington started 2-of-17 before getting an easy dunk. Still, sitting at 3-of-18, Covington kept shooting and buried an enormous three with 2:31 left in the second overtime.

These are the beautiful things that happen in basketball.

Roberson is on the court for a crucial offensive possession, and his number gets called. And ... he missed a potentially game-winning layup.

As SB Nation’s own Kofie Yeboah points out, it’s slightly amusing that Roberson doesn’t even look to finish a layup after the first pass. When he gets it back, he misses a layup ... but he was clearly fouled.

No foul was called. Man, the game coming down to Roberson hitting just one shot at the free throw line would have been incredible. Instead, Roberson’s missed shot was rebounded by the 76ers. Which led to even more shenanigans.

Somehow, the 76ers go into a timeout expecting to advance the ball ... and when they come out of it, the referees won’t let them. My reaction: ???. Brett Brown’s reaction: ????. The 76ers’ reaction: ?????????????????????. The referee’s response: ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.

So the 76ers instead have to throw a three-quarters court heave from the left sideline down the court, where Paul George knocks it out of bounds. Jeff Van Gundy goes on a righteous rant about how it should have been advanced, or how the 76ers at least should have known it wouldn’t be advanced. He’s right!

We go to a third overtime tied at 111.

How did he have the legs for that!?

It’s somewhat amazing that only one player fouled out of a triple-overtime game, but here we are. Adams did it with 2:12 left in the third overtime, and here’s how Embiid responds.

Embiid’s gonna get punched in the face one day from this nonsense. I love it, but...

Roberson is still on the court, and look! Westbrook gives it right back to him and he hits that layup this time, almost an identical play to the one before. (It helped that he wasn’t fouled on this one.)

On the ensuing possession, the 76ers turn it over. Westbrook is fouled and misses both free throws, but Philadelphia is out of timeouts. They can’t advance it. (The second miss might have been on purpose for that very reason.) We finally have a final score: Thunder 119, 76ers 117.

Westbrook, irked by Embiid’s previous nonsense, couldn’t help but wave Embiid off the court after the loss.

Incredible. This was the first triple overtime game of the season, and as far as I’m concerned, we don’t need another. For 63 minutes, these two teams played the wildest, pettiest basketball I’ve ever seen, and who cares if it was good or not. What a game.

Here’s what Westbrook told Embiid.

And what Embiid said about Westbrook:

Embiid, for the record, took just 20 shots while still outscoring Westbrook 37 points to 34.

This is the game that keeps on giving.
