Russell Westbrook made an incredible heads-up play to score a buzzer-beater at halftime of Sunday's game in Utah.
With 0.7 seconds left on the clock and the 5-second count winding down, Westbrook threw the inbounds pass off the back of Jazz defender Rodney Hood. The ball bounced right back to Westbrook, who turned and hit a 15-foot jumper.
The play seemed to give the Thunder a spark heading into halftime as the play cut the Jazz lead to 51-38. The Thunder came out and took control of the game in the second half, beating the Jazz 104-98. Westbrook finished with 25 points, 11 rebounds and 5 assists.
