Damian Lillard nails 37-foot buzzer-beater to seal Portland Trail Blazers series win over Oklahoma City Thunder
Portland Trail Blazers completed a series win over Oklahoma City Thunder in the most dramatic fashion after Damian Lillard threw a buzzer-beating three pointer from 37 feet to beat the clock.
The 28-year-old, named four times in the NBA all-star line-up, carried his side through the first half and had registered a 47-point game by the dying stages of the fourth quarter.
OKC were tied 115-115 with four seconds left on the clock when Lillard picked up possession inside his own half.
The game looked set to end as a tie but Lillard saved his best for last when he threw an improbable three from the logo.
