Everyone in the building Friday knew Russell Westbrook would take the final shot. That's why the entire defense collapsed early in anticipation of a darting drive.
Westbrook managed to beat two defenders, but he was met at the rim by a perfectly timed leap by Kenneth Faried to force overtime.
OKC eventually outlasted Denver in the extra frame, 132-129.
