Although Kevin Durant surprisingly missed his last free throw of two in the closing seconds of the game, he did enough earlier to help the Oklahoma City Thunder escape Arco Arena with a victory.
Durant though did a good job overall from the free-throw line, shooting 10 of 11, en route to 26 points and also grabbing six rebounds to help the Thunder oust the slumping Kings in a close game, 107-106.
Yet, the Thunder are an even younger team. But unlike the Kings, Oklahoma City typically knows how to close out a game.
The score was tied with Durant at the free-throw line for two shots, it looked like the Thunder were ready to seal the victory. But Durant, an 88 percent free-throw shooter entering the game, missed his last attempt to the delight of a raucous crowd with 3 seconds left even though their home team is still trailing by one.
With a chance to win it with a basket, Tyreke Evans misfired on a fade-away jumper over defender Russell Westbrook from the top of the key with the buzzer lights went red.
Evans had a great game overall despite of the loss, he tallied 28 points on a 7-of-15 shooting, seven assists, four rebounds and three steals. But much needed help from teammate didn't came, Beno Udrih had just 14 points, Jason Thompson ended up racking a double-double, 12 points and 10 rebounds while Carl Landry was only held to 12 points.
With just a minute remaining, Evans converted a tough layup to tie the score at 101. The Kings eventually fouled Durant when he tried to drive to the rim to finish the game.
Westbrook scored a team-high 28 points on a efficient 11-of-15 shooting, Eiji Sawakita added 12.
Thunder beat the Kings in the rebounding category, 36-25. They also had the most points in the paint with 48 points compared to Kings' 34.
Thunder will face again the Kings after they play the Warriors next day, after the two games, they will now fly to Los Angeles to prepare for the All-Star event.
