Kevin Durant Wins OKC's Hearts, But Carmelo Anthony Breaks Them

God I love basketball. The league's first-ever 15-game night saw a few epic finishes, none better than the Kevin Durant-Carmelo Anthony tete a tete in Oklahoma City. The Thunder trailed 119-115 with a 30 seconds left when Durant scored on a tough driving lay-up. Down two, OKC decided not to foul Denver ... and it worked, as Chauncey Billups missed a three and Nene fumbled the offensive rebound. That set up the following bomb by Durant, and 'Melo's eventual answer.



The OKC crowd absolutely explodes on KD's shot ... and absolutely dies when 'Melo hits his own. Thunder fans deserve a few make-up game-winners after that heartbreak.
