"Shai Gilgeous-Alexander hits another buzzer-beater!": NBA Twitter erupts as the Oklahoma City Thunder defeat LA Clippers in the final seconds

Oklahoma City Thunder guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander stunned the Los Angeles Clippers with a buzzer-beater and Twitter went haywire.

OKC currently has the worst record in the western conference, but they managed to defeat the 5th seeded Clippers. The game came down to the wire and Shai’s clutch 3 saved them last night. Clippers were extremely shorthanded with both their superstars sidelined.

Although the Thunder had a comfortable lead in the first half, Clippers caught up and took the lead in the final moments of the game. Down two with 6 seconds on the clock, OKC inbounded the ball and Giddey passed it to Shai Gilgeous-Aleazandar. He drilled it to beat the buzzer and won it for his team.


Nicholas Batum chose to give him space instead of contesting the shot. He will regret that move for quite some time. Shai notched a deep 3 to tie the game against New Orleans Pelicans the other night. Unlike last time, however, the 23-year-old made sure they get the dub against the Clippers.

The Oklahoma City Thunder will face Memphis Grizzlies next. The last time these two met, the Grizzlies made history when they defeated them by 73 points. Shai was sidelined in that game, this time around they will be looking to even the regular-season series.
