A Pelicans player hit a 61-foot game-winner in what some are calling one of the craziest NBA finishes ever

• Pelicans guard Devonte Graham hit a 61-foot game-winning heave on Thursday.
• The shot came after the Thunder hit a wild, 30-foot 3-pointer to tie the game with 1.4 seconds left.

A Thursday night matchup between two of the NBA's worst teams produced one of the wildest finishes of all-time.

The New Orleans Pelicans topped the Oklahoma City Thunder, 113-110, thanks to two back-to-back improbable shots, including a three-quarter-court game-winner.

Thunder guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander tied the game with 1.4 seconds left when he launched a wrong-footed, 30-foot three-pointer while trying to draw a foul. The call was never made, but Gilgeous-Alexander swooshed the awkward-looking shot to even the score at 110.

With no timeouts left, the Pelicans inbounded the ball to Devonte Graham, who had no choice but to heave a 61-foot prayer that somehow banked in about a full second after the clock had expired.

Watch the incredible sequence below:

ESPN reported that advanced data site Second Spectrum gave Graham's shot just a 3.5% chance of going in.

According to ESPN, it was the longest game-winner in 25 years.

Fans and analysts took to Twitter afterward and called it one of the best finishes in NBA history.

Pelicans star forward Brandon Ingram told reporters after the game that the Pelicans do have a play for late-game scenarios such as the one against the Thunder.

Head coach Willie Green said he gave Graham a "touchdown" sign, signaling to him to execute the nearly full-court heave.

"When I saw it released from Devonte's hands, I just said, 'Lord, please,'" Green told reporters. 'And he delivered."

Graham signed a four-year, $47 million contract with the Pelicans this offseason after spending the previous three years with the Charlotte Hornets. The 26-year-old Graham has had an up-and-down tenure with the Pelicans, averaging 13.5 points and 4.5 assists on just 36% shooting from the field, but 35% from three.

On Thursday, he hit his most important three of the year, and probably made the Pelicans feel a bit more comfortable with their signing.
