The Oklahoma City Thunder were the talk of the night on Saturday when it went into Chase Center and collected their second consecutive dub against the Golden State Warriors in a 130-123 overtime win.
Trailing by 18 points in the third quarter, the Thunder stayed resilient and mounted a comeback that culminated with a turnaround 3-pointer by Chet Holmgren to tie it at the end of regulation.
This came seconds after Andrew Wiggins hit a 3-pointer that looked like a game-winner for the Warriors.
The last-second outside shot was the headline of Holmgren’s career night. The seven-foot rookie had a career-high 36 points on 14-of-22 shooting, 10 rebounds, five assists and two blocks.
Let’s look at some of the best reactions on Holmgren’s big-time bucket on X, formerly known as Twitter.

JDub on Chet's big 3:
"(That's) something that we drew up in practice. We always do ATOs, late-game stuff at the end of practices… For him to get that shot, it's something that we all trust him to shoot. It was cool to see that come full circle because we've worked on it."
