The OKC Thunder knew the Pistons wee not going to concede anything as they were going to make the Highlights or Low Lights one way or another. The Pistons battled and battled as they went all the way to a "KD had to his the Game-Winner" to lose game #82 of 82 as OKC captures the NBA West #2 Seed 112-111 in the process.

The Pistons were up at the break 55-54 with Pistons Rookie SG Kentavious Caldwell-Pope leading the way with 20 points. Detroit Basketball surprisingly stretched that lead to 87-79 and held onto a 109-104 lead with three minutes remaining in the 4th. OKC with all that Vet Moxie closed the game on a 8-1 run as Westbrook and D-Fish added four points to that eight with KD getting the game-winner a Dunk with just 16.5 seconds left. The Pistons messed the first play up and after a tie-up and a Jump at the Pistons Free Throw Line Brandon Jennings got off a potential game-winning heave that fell short.

KD ends his 2013-14 Campaign with 42 points and six assists on 14 of 30 shooting and 13 of 15 from the Stripe. There is no doubt in my mind he is the 2013-14 NBA M.V.P. and for some Trivia NBA Commish Adam Silver first M.V.P.. For once KD will not be 2nd and in the Shoe Game he might be #1 as the slick low-cut KD 6 is off the charts nice!

As for OKC winning the #2 seed if they had lost and the Clippers beat the Blazers OKC would have fell to #3 and would have had to play the #6 Golden State Warriors and that for OKC would not have been the best Opening Round Look.
