Credit Taj Gibson with both an interception and touchdown pass for the Oklahoma City Thunder.
Gibson made an incredible play just before halftime of Thursday’s Thunder-Trail Blazers game when he intercepted a Portland pass and made a three-quarters court buzzer-beater on a one-handed heave:

Can we take a moment to appreciate all the awesome aspects of that shot?
First, Gibson intercepted a pass by Portland that went almost the full length of the court. That’s not easy.
Then he remembered to beat the clock by heaving a shot — one-handed no less.
Lastly, he made the freaking shot from the far 3-point line!
That 3-pointer made it 60-57 Oklahoma City going into halftime. Those were probably the most difficult three points Gibson’s ever earned.
