Kevin Durant hit a three-pointer as time expired to give the Thunder a 101-98 victory over the visiting Knicks on Saturday night.

"Once I let it go," Durant said, "it felt like everybody went silent."

When he came to Durant realized that he had hit his first buzzer-beating, game-winner in Oklahoma City.

"That's one of the all-time best feelings I've had in this league," he said.

Durant had struggled in last-second situations prior to Saturday night's shot.

"I was never going to get down on myself," Durant said. "I just had to keep working. I knew my time was going to come."
