The Golden State Warriors do not take kindly to losing, so it helps that they're preternaturally capable of avoiding it.

This is how the Warriors turned a four-point deficit with 14 seconds remaining into a tie game that needed overtime. The Oklahoma City Thunder, terrified of a 3-pointer, concede a wide-open layup to Klay Thompson.

Kevin Durant got trapped on the inbounds pass, and though the Thunder had a timeout left, he threw a desperate pass across midcourt. The Warriors tipped it, and Draymond Green made a herculean save to not only prevent it from going out of bounds but get it into Thompson's hands. Thompson immediately flung it ahead to Andre Iguodala, who got fouled on a shot attempt with 0.7 seconds on the clock.

A 61.3 percent free-throw shooter on the season, Iguodala shrugged it off, and calmly sunk both to tie the game. Durant then missed a heave at the buzzer, sending the game to overtime.
