Craig Smith scored a season-high 23 points, Mike Miller drilled the game-winning jumper from the left baseline with 0.1 seconds left, and the Minnesota Timberwolves beat Oklahoma City 105-103 Friday night to hand the Thunder a franchise record-tying 14th straight loss.
Miller received an inbounds pass from Ryan Gomes, took a single dribble and then connected on a 19-footer before celebrating with a handful of leaping chest bumps with his teammates at halfcourt.
Kevin Durant had tied it by driving past Al Jefferson for a right-handed jam with 3.3 seconds left, but that left just enough time for Miller's heroics.
Jefferson finished with 19 points and nine rebounds to narrowly miss his eighth double-double. Miller scored 18 points and reserve Sebastian Telfair contributed 12.
