Basketball: Harden block eliminates OKC in narrow Rockets win

With five seconds left on the clock and the Rockets up by one, Dort found himself in a position to hit a three. The Houston Rockets have narrowly made it through to the Western Conference semi-finals, after an intense two-point Game 7 against the Oklahoma City Thunder. In a 'winner takes all' scenario both sides exchanged the lead throughout, with Luguentz Dort the in-form player on court with a game-high score of 30 points. With just five seconds of the series remaining and the Rockets up by one, Dort then found himself in a position to hit a three and eliminate the Rockets. James Harden, who failed to shine offensively, had other ideas though, as he came up with one of the best defensive plays of his career, blocking Dort to seal the victory. In a very quick turnaround, the Rockets now prepare to face conference leaders, the Los Angeles Lakers, on Saturday.
