Jared McCain may be smiling all the time, but make no mistake: He will destroy you on the basketball court.
With Ajay Mitchell still out with an ankle injury, McCain remained in the starting lineup as the Oklahoma City Thunder visited the Los Angeles Clippers at Intuit Dome in the NBA Cup on Friday.
McCain wowed the crowd after drilling a 30-foot buzzer-beating three-pointer to end the third quarter, shooting over Max Strus. It gave the Thunder a three-point lead, 84-81, heading into the fourth frame.
The nip-and-tuck affair continued in the final quarter, with both teams refusing to budge. But in the end, the Clippers hacked out the win, 113-112.
McCain had 23 points, including 7-of-11 three-pointers, four rebounds, and two assists.
More details to come.
