LOS ANGELES -- Nick Youngs thievery prevented Russell Westbrook from pulling an even bigger heist during the Los Angeles Lakers latest win.Young hit a go-ahead 3-pointer with 5 seconds to play, and the Lakers blew a 14-point lead in the final minutes before snatching a 111-109 victory over the Oklahoma City Thunder on Tuesday night.With the dramatic flair and boundless confidence that have characterized his entire unique career, Young improvised one of his biggest moments in a Lakers uniform.The play was designed to ... someone else, Young said with a sheepish grin. Yeah, I think they should have given me a steal for that.Lou Williams had just come free on the perimeter and set up to catch Brandon Ingrams pass so he could take the Lakers final shot, but Young slipped in front of him, swiped the ball and drained a 3-pointer in one fluid move.I told him, `If youre going to steal a pass, you better make the shot, Lakers coach Luke Walton said. It was a pretty incredible shot by him. Obviously one of the reasons we like Nick on the court at the end of the game is because he is not afraid of the moment. He loves the moment.Young finished with 17 points and Jordan Clarkson had 18 as the Lakers (8-7) somehow withstood a monster performance by Westbrook, who scored 17 of his 34 points in a 5-minute span of the fourth quarter to trim the Lakers big lead to one point.Steven Adams scored on a go-ahead putback of Westbrooks miss with 13.9 seconds to play to put Oklahoma City up 109-108, setting the stage for Williams to get upstaged.If he missed the shot, the narrative would have been different, said a smiling Williams, who had 13 points. Hes never serious, but he made a big shot, apologized, and were going to move on.BIG RUSSWhile taking over the NBAs scoring lead with his sixth consecutive 30-point game, Westbrook also had 13 assists and eight rebounds. He barely missed the sixth triple-double of his amazing season, but he also missed five of his final six shots while attempting to drag the Thunder to another win.Westbrook missed a long shot right before the buzzer, and the Los Angeles native sat motionless at his locker for a long time after the game.We get down by 14 points, and we get two quick scores and cut it to 10 and all of a sudden he goes crazy and gives us a chance to win the game, Oklahoma City coach Billy Donovan said. We were a little bit dead there, and his 3s gave us a chance.Adams had 20 points, including two baskets in the final minute, for the Thunder, who have lost six of eight.TEAMWORKTimofey Mozgov scored 16 points for the Lakers, who ended a two-game skid with their seventh win in 11 games overall.Jose Calderon hit four 3-pointers and scored a season-high 12 points while filling in for DAngelo Russell, who will miss at least two games to rest his sore knee.D-LO SIDELINEDRussell sat out for the second time in three games to rest his knee, which prevents him from playing at full speed. He wont play Wednesday, and the Lakers arent sure whether hell return Friday or Sunday or later. Calderon has played sparingly in his first season with Los Angeles, but the Spanish guard excelled in this spot start.TIP-INSThunder: G Semaj Christon missed his second straight game with a concussion. ...

Wholesale Custom Blackhawks Shirts . In the lead up - which seemed to begin the moment Mike Geiger blew the whistle in Houston last Thursday night - the Impact rumour mill went into overdrive. The speculation went into meltdown mode, of the golden nugget variety. Hot off the heels of OGN Overwatch APEX Season 1, some of the top South Korean teams from that highly competitive league will clash alongside a pair of European powerhouses at Intel Extreme Masters Gyeonggi for $100,000 on Dec. 16-18. Lets take a look at which of the six invited teams might make a big impact at the tournament.Day 1 - A Cinderella and a BeastMany Western Overwatch fans will remember South Koreas dominance in the Overwatch World Cup in early November at BlizzCon 2016. Half of Team South Koreas championship roster was composed of the fearsome Lunatic-Hai core of Kim EscA In-jae, Gong Miro Jin-hyuk, and Ryu Ryujehong Je-hong; Ryujehong, for example, is considered the best Ana in the world. Despite the strong influence of those players on Team South Koreas success, Lunatic-Hai itself has yet to win a major tournament.The team has come close before, taking second place in the APAC Premier in October, but recent results have been less than stellar. Lunatic-Hai was knocked out of the OGN Overwatch Apex Season 1 playoffs in embarrassing fashion, getting swept 3-0 by KongDoo Uncia. This puzzling development may owe to not adapting to the changing meta. If LH stopped refusing to play Roadhog, who is widely regarded as one of the strongest characters in the current state of the game, that could be a start. But if they hope to take their first LAN tournament on Friday, theyll have to learn how to adapt, or else be left in the dust by their competition.Unlike their South Korean counterparts, Europes Misfits have put together plenty of success in recent months, winning DreamHack Winter in spectacular fashion against Fnatic. Conventional wisdom says, If it aint broke, dont fix it, yet thats exactly what Misfits did, taking part in a three-way trade with Luminosity and fellow IEM tournament-attendee Rogue.When the wheeling and dealing was finished, Misfits ended up with an entirely Swedish lineup, replacing Nicholas skipjack Rosada, Terrence SoOn Tarlier, Jonathan Kryw Nobre, and Mika?l Hidan Da Silva with Jonathan Reinforce Larsson, Kalle Zave Haag Nillson, Tim Mannetens Byhlund, and Kevyn TviQ Lindstr?m. This new roster has yet to be tested on an international level, but Misfits are still expected to perform well. TviQ is known to have stand-out performances, and Reinforce is regarded as one of the most intelligent Reinhardt players in the world. If the roster can gel in time for IEM Gyeonggi, Misfits shouldnt have too much trouble making it through the tournament.ddddddddddddDay 2 - Goliaths await in the wingsThe two winners of the quarterfinal matchups on Friday will have the unenviable task of facing two of the better teams in the Overwatch scene in Afreeca Freecs Blue and Rogue.Afreeca Freecs Blue (AFB) used to be one of the most exciting teams to watch in the earlier stages of competitive Overwatch. DPS player Jeong ArHaN Weon Hyeop was a critical member in the teams success, helping AFB put together solid showings from September to early October. However a meta shift left the team high and dry as of late. OGN Overwatch Apex Season 1 showcased the teams struggles, as AFB barely got by REUNITED in the quarterfinals, and were absolutely decimated in the grand finals against Team EnVyUs. In that final series, nothing seemed to work for AFB. They werent able to play the meta at the same level as EnVyUs, as they were heavily countered by the abundance of tanks and long-range pressure from Soldier 76. It is unclear what AFB will bring to IEM Gyeonggi, but whatever their approach might be, there is no doubt that the pride of South Korea will be with them.On the flipside, Rogue, until recently, was easily one of the top three teams in the Overwatch scene. With a history of high finishes at events such as Operation Breakout and ESL Overwatch Atlantic Showdown at Gamescon, Rogue looked like a top-class Western team earlier this past year. When Rogue won the APAC Premier as the sole European representative, defeating top South Korean teams on its way to the title, the Overwatch community was ready to crown them the kings of Overwatch.OGN Overwatch APEX Season 1 only helped the hype grow, as they swept through their group without dropping a single game. Then, in the playoffs, against a seemingly weakened EnVyUs who was using a sub, Rogue faltered. They looked like they werent sure of what to pick into EnVyUs compositions, and there was visible panic in the way the team played in Game 5. The loss prompted an immediate change, as they jumped into the aforementioned three-team trade, dropping TviQ and Reinforce to pick up SoOn and skipjack. As a result the pressure is on for Rogue, as anything short of winning IEM Gyeonggi will hurt their legacy. ' ' '
