Twitter Reacts to OKC Thunder Controversial Overtime Timeout
The Oklahoma City Thunder's matchup against the Indiana Pacers ended in a double-overtime thriller, with the Thunder winning 141-135.
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander scored a career-high 55 points, while Benedict Mathurin and Pascal Siakam combined for 68 points.
Rookie guard Ajay Mitchell added 26 points off the bench in 38 minutes, continuing his strong start to the season.
However, the game was not without controversy, as a timeout call in double overtime sparked debate on social media.
With 22.5 seconds left in double overtime and the Pacers trailing 139-133, Obi Toppin stole the ball from an inbounding Chet Holmgren — only for officials to grant Thunder head coach Mark Daigneault a timeout before Holmgren could make the pass.
This single call ignited NBA social media, with many reacting to the controversial timeout.
