David West’s Game-Winner With 0.5 Seconds Remaining Helps Hornets Sink Thunder 91-89

Oklahoma City threw the subsequent inbounds pass over the outstretched arms of Ibaka. The play was reviewed since no player touched the ball and the call on the floor was upheld, ending the game.

Paul’s three-pointer tied the game at 83 with 5:25 to go before an Ibaka dunk and Westbrook jumper put the visitors ahead by four.

Should the Thunder beat the Hornets on Monday or when the teams match up for the final time on Feb. 2, Oklahoma City will carry a tiebreaker for the season. If the Hornets sweep the final two games of the season series, the head-to-head tiebreaker will be moot should the teams end the season with equal records.
