After Jamal Crawford split two free throws to go up 110-108, the Los Angeles Clippers left Russell Westbrook and the Oklahoma City Thunder 10.3 seconds to either tie or win the game.
That's plenty of time for Westbrook, who has proven countless times he needs only a few seconds to go coast to coast. And yet - Russ being Russ - he wanted it all, and pulled up for the potential game-winning 3-pointer with more than four seconds remaining on the clock.
It did not go as planned, and the Clippers improved to a league-best and franchise-record 8-1 through nine games.
