It’s why I love the NBA.

If you record a game on your DVR, you can get through an entire regular-season game in about an hour-15. So, I tend not to watch games live, but an hour-15 in my schedule is still a freaking long time.

The Oklahoma City Thunder played perhaps its best game of the season on Friday night, against a first-place team in the Denver Nuggets. The good guys got out to a 15-point lead at one point, and I thought sure OKC would get its biggest win in franchise history.

Long story short, our offense made a lot of silly turnovers, and the Nuggets tightened things in the fourth quarter thanks to perimeter shooting from Chauncy Billups and monster inside play from Nene.

But then Kevin Durant hits a long three with just 2.7 seconds left to give Oklahoma City a 120-119 lead.

Yay! Another Friday night win! Go home happy! Celebrate! Right?

Wrong. Watch. Near an hour and a half of my life gone by, and all I really needed to see was this:

What a game.

Disappointed we lost, but what a game.
