The Shot: An oral history of Devonte’ Graham’s 61-foot game-winner in Oklahoma City
New Orleans guard Devonte’ Graham banked in a buzzer-beating, 61-foot shot from beyond the halfcourt stripe to beat Oklahoma City on Wednesday, the NBA’s longest game-winning basket of the last 25 years. Before Graham authored one of the most memorable plays in New Orleans franchise history, though, Oklahoma City guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander forced a tie by draining an off-balance, 37-footer from the center of the floor, as New Orleans veteran guard Garrett Temple unsuccessfully tried to grab him for a two-shot foul. Pelicans coaches and players could not believe Gilgeous-Alexander was not only able to elude Temple’s grasp, but also swish a high-degree-of-difficulty bomb that made the Paycom Center scoreboard read New Orleans 110, Oklahoma City 110, with just 1.4 seconds remaining.
