The Oklahoma City Thunder (13-18) played against the Portland Trail Blazers (17-14) tonight at the Paycom Center. Both the teams put up a good fight, and the verdict was literally down to the last second. Despite Damian Lillard making history, it was a $180 million NBA star who proved his mettle at buzzer-beater.

OKC’s point guard, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander or SGA, wielded his magic to seal the deal for his team. He dribbled the ball and took a baseline shot with 0.2 seconds left on the clock. He made the basket and the crowd roared. The final tally was 123-121. He finished the game with 35 points and 2 rebounds.

Dame’s only celebration tonight would be his record-breaking milestone. The Blazers lost to the Thunder, thanks to SGA. He is a first-time All-Star candidate who has been averaging 31.2 points and 4.7 rebounds.
