So, so, so close.

Take a look at the above video. That's how close the Oklahoma City Thunder came from taking Game 2 from the Mavericks with the series heading to Dallas. 

In a game where Kevin Durant went 7-for-33 from the field and tied Michael Jordan for the most missed shots (26) in a playoff game in the last 30 years, the Thunder still managed to keep the contest close. With seven seconds remaining, Raymond Felton, the Mavericks leading scorer with 21 points—yes, your eyes aren't deceiving you—had a chance to put his team up by three with two attempts from the charity stripe. 

After Felton missed both free throws, the Thunder stormed up the court for the game-winner. Steven Adams grabbed Westbrook's missed tip-in and put it back... after the buzzer.
