PHOTOS: Best images from Thunder’s 130-123 OT win over the Warriors

The Oklahoma City Thunder collected their most impressive win of the season in their 130-123 overtime win over the Golden State Warriors on Saturday.

A buzzer-beating turnaround Chet Holmgren 3-pointer stunned the opposing crowd as it appeared seconds earlier Andrew Wiggins hit a game-winning 3-pointer.

Instead, Holmgren’s 3-pointer headlined his best performance yet. The seven-foot rookie had a career-high 36 points, 10 rebounds, five assists and two blocks.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander aided in OKC’s win with 40 points on 18-of-29 shooting which included 10 points in OT. Jalen Williams also had a big scoring night with 22 points.

Meanwhile, the Warriors were led by Stephen Curry — who had 25 points in his return from a knee strain — and Wiggins’ season-high 31 points.

Let’s look at some of the best photos from the Thunder’s seven-point OT win over the Warriors.
