You have to know that’s a foul if you’re an NBA coach because you only had one timeout remaining. What a huge miscue by the OKC coach.

WHAT A GAME!!!
Hats off to both teams
Wouldn't be surprised to see Dallas going all the way now, especially as I think OKC had by the far the best backcourt defense of the remaining teams to neutralize both Luka and Kyrie

Dallas advances to the WCF.

Weird ending.

Good season for the young OKC Thunder team. Up and coming and will be elite for years to come.

Hate to see the Thunder lose because of Shai. But I think he answered all the calls this postseason, there is no doubt he is a top 5 player in the league.

Just one piece away for OKC. KD would be perfect.

Shay shouldn't have put himself in that situation where they could even make that call. Dumb play by him. He'll be thinking about that call all off season now lol.

i think what made this unique is that the ball didn't come loose or was released. pj still had possession.

That was an excruciating watch. Best of luck next season Thunder fans, that was fun.
