The fans at Paycom Center were left stunned after what they saw at the end of the Pelicans-Thunder game. With just 1.4 seconds left and the game tied 110-110 and with no time outs from either team, it was a safe bet that the game was going to overtime.
No one told Devonte Graham that as he accepted the inbound, took one dribble, and heaved a three-quarter prayer to maybe get the win. That worked as the shot fell and the Pelicans went wild.

Brandon Ingram wound up as the Pelicans’ top scorer but Graham was a solid 5-for-10 from three and those five buckets were his only points of the night. With a tough game against the defending champs Milwaukee Bucks coming up, the Pelicans are going to hope this magic continues.
