Richard Jefferson's overtime jump shot lifted San Antonio to a 109-108 triumph over Oklahoma City Wednesday in a National Basketball Association thriller.
Jefferson ended up with the ball after a Spurs' play went wrong, with Manu Ginobili diving out of bounds to save an wayward pass that bounced off Antonio McDyess.
George Hill passed to Jefferson, who drained a shot with 9.1sec remaining.
Russell Westbrook missed a potential game-winner for the Thunder at the final buzzer.
San Antonio rookie DeJuan Blair set new career highs with 28 points and 21 rebounds while standing in for Tim Duncan, who rested on the second game of a back-to-back series.
Tony Parker, who is playing through painful plantar fasciitis - swelling of the thick tissue on the bottom of the foot - had 28 points. Hill scored 16 and Jefferson and McDyess had 13 apiece.
Kevin Durant scored 35 points and Westbrook had 25 points and 13 assists for the Thunder. Jeff Green added 16 points and 10 rebounds.
Oklahoma City trailed by 19 points in the first half, and rallied from an eight-point deficit in the final four minutes of regulation.
Thabo Sefolosha capped an 8-0 scoring run with a dunk with 57.6 seconds left, and Westbrook was able to answer Parker's jumper.
McDyess missed a three-pointer at the end of regulation.
Durant put the Thunder ahead 108-106 with 1:28 remaining in overtime, and McDyess made a free throw to narrow the gap to one.
Jefferson then blocked a shot by Sefolosha, giving the Spurs a chance to seize the win.
