OKLAHOMA CITY - Russell Westbrook finished off Oklahoma Citys stunning comeback. Air Vapormax 97 Scontate . Clippers coach Doc Rivers believes he should never have had the chance. Westbrook scored 38 points and made three free throws with 6.4 seconds remaining, and the Thunder overcame a seven-point deficit in the final 50 seconds to beat Los Angeles 105-104 on Tuesday night and go up 3-2 in the Western Conference semifinals. "I think when you get a win like this it brings everybody closer," Westbrook said. "It lets you know you cant mess around. You have to take every moment, every play and go out and win the game." The play that led to Westbrooks free throws is in dispute. Kevin Durant made a 3-pointer, then Los Angeles Jamal Crawford missed in close before Durant made a layup with 17 seconds left. Westbrook stole the ball, and in a scramble, the Thunder got possession with 11.3 seconds to play, setting up Westbrooks play. The Clippers believed the ball went off Oklahoma Citys Reggie Jackson, but the officials awarded the ball to the Thunder. After review, the play stood. "Everybody knows it was our ball," Rivers said. "The bottom line is they thought it was a foul and they made up for it. Lets take away the replay. We were robbed. It was our ball, whether it was a foul or not." NBA crew chief Tony Brothers explained the call after the game. "When the ball goes out of bounds, the ball was awarded to Oklahoma City," he said. "We go to review the play. We saw two replays. The two replays we saw were from the overhead camera showing down, and the one from under the basket showing the same angle but from a different view. And from those two replays, it was inconclusive as to who the ball went out of bounds off of. When its inconclusive, we have to go with the call that was on the floor." The Thunder were more focused on what they did after the call. They can clinch the series Thursday in Los Angeles. "Ive never seen a game like this with us," Durant said. "It just shows that you can never keep us down. Were going to fight until the end no matter what happens. We fought through it all and persevered through it all." After the Thunder got possession, Westbrook was fouled by Chris Paul while shooting a 3-pointer with the Thunder trailing by two. Westbrook, who had missed a 3-pointer that would have won Game 4 in the closing seconds, welcomed the chance for redemption. "Im still upset about that shot that I missed in L.A. for the game, so tonight, I just tried to take my time, take a deep breath and knock em down," he said. After the free throws, Paul drove to the hoop, but Jackson stole the ball from him, and time expired. "Probably the toughest thing Ive been through, basketball-wise," Paul said. "Everything that happened there at the end is on me. It was just bad basketball." Durant scored 10 of his 27 points in the final 3:23 after shooting 3 for 17 through three quarters. "Great players can have a bad shooting night, have a great three minutes and be the superstars that they are," Thunder coach Scott Brooks said. "He hung in there and there were times where he thought nothing would go right. They stuck together and fought through a lot of tough situations." Blake Griffin had 24 points and 17 rebounds, Crawford scored 19 points and Paul had 17 points and 14 assists for the Clippers. It was the latest in a string of spectacular games for Westbrook. He is averaging 29.6 points, 6.6 rebounds and 6.8 assists in the series. "Hes fierce and hes fearless," Brooks said. "Hes a winner. The guy competes for his team every single night and he practices the way he plays. He makes basketball plays to put our team in a winning position." The Clippers took a 101-88 lead in the fourth quarter on a 3-pointer by Crawford with 4:13 to play before Durant finally got involved. He hit a 3-pointer with 3:23 remaining on his first shot of the quarter, then drained two free throws to cut the Clippers lead to 101-95. A layup by Jackson cut Los Angeles lead to four. Griffin made the first of two free throws, and Glen Davis grabbed the rebound of the second. Pauls mid-range jumper on the extra possession gave the Clippers a 104-97 edge with 49 seconds to play. The Clippers appeared on their way to taking control of the series. Now, they are on the brink of elimination. "Weve been regrouping all year," Rivers said. "Well be ready to play when we get to L.A. This ones going to hurt. None of this would have happened if wed taken care of business. That didnt happen. Well be ready."

The Bruins forward has been fined $5,000 by the National Hockey League for spearing Red Wings defenceman Danny DeKeyser in the groin.MANCHESTER, England - Manchester United relied on a fortunate winning goal from Juan Mata and a breathtaking double save from David de Gea in injury time to beat Stoke 2-1 and secure a fourth straight Premier League victory on Tuesday.Comfortable but never convincing at Old Trafford, United ended up scrambling to the three points that kept the team in the top four and maintained its revival under new manager Louis van Gaal.Matas winner in the 59th minute had a slice of fortune about it, with the Spain playmakers inswinging free kick from the right curling over the heads of a number of players in the box and bouncing into the far corner.However, it needed two superb saves from De Gea and a goal-line clearance from Ashley Young — all in the final two minutes of injury time — to prevent Stoke from checking Uniteds momentum.I am not happy with the performance, Van Gaal said. Maybe we forced the luck and that is also because of the fighting spirit.Without the injured pair of Wayne Rooney and Angel Di Maria, United lacked creativity and took a 21st-minute lead through a direct route when Marouane Fellaini scored a towering, far-post header.Steven Nzonzi equalized in the 39th for Stoke with a powerful shot from the edge of the area and failed to genuinely test United until a frantic, final few minutes.The episodes at the end were unbelievable, said Stoke manager Mark Hughes, who spent 13 years at United as a player across two spells.United has beeen looking to restore the fear factor at Old Trafford — but its makeshift team was far from intimidating without Rooney and Di Maria, and a defence containing wingers Young and Antonio Valencia as full backs. Air Max 720 Offerta. In the end, two high balls into the box — crosses that Stokes physically imposing teams down the years were masters at dealing with — were the downfall of the hard-working but limited visitors.Fellaini nipped in front of left back Erik Pieters to meet a hanging cross to the far post by Ander Herrera with a downward header into the centre of the goal. Stoke should have been behind by then, with Herrera blasting a shot over the bar after Robin van Persie had intercepted a weak clearance by goalkeeper Asmir Begovic.Nzonzi scored with Stokes only shot on goal in the first half but United restored its lead just before the hour mark when Mata swung in a cross that narrowly eluded leaping United defender Marcos Rojo, who initially claimed the goal, and dropped into the far corner.Fit-again Colombia striker Radamel Falcao came on for the final 12 minutes for United to replace 19-year-old James Wilson, who came in for Rooney.But it was Stoke which finished the stronger, with Mame Biram Diouf seeing a header brilliantly parried out by De Gea and then having his goalbound shot cleared off the line by Young.Im happy with the result, Van Gaal said, tomorrow we have a Christmas party and its important we can enjoy that.
