OKLAHOMA CITY - Russell Westbrook finished off Oklahoma Citys stunning comeback. Clippers coach Doc Rivers believes he should never have had the chance. Westbrook scored 38 points and made three free throws with 6.4 seconds remaining, and the Thunder overcame a seven-point deficit in the final 50 seconds to beat Los Angeles 105-104 on Tuesday night and go up 3-2 in the Western Conference semifinals. "I think when you get a win like this it brings everybody closer," Westbrook said. "It lets you know you cant mess around. You have to take every moment, every play and go out and win the game." The play that led to Westbrooks free throws is in dispute. Kevin Durant made a 3-pointer, then Los Angeles Jamal Crawford missed in close before Durant made a layup with 17 seconds left. Westbrook stole the ball, and in a scramble, the Thunder got possession with 11.3 seconds to play, setting up Westbrooks play. The Clippers believed the ball went off Oklahoma Citys Reggie Jackson, but the officials awarded the ball to the Thunder. After review, the play stood. "Everybody knows it was our ball," Rivers said. "The bottom line is they thought it was a foul and they made up for it. Lets take away the replay. We were robbed. It was our ball, whether it was a foul or not." NBA crew chief Tony Brothers explained the call after the game. "When the ball goes out of bounds, the ball was awarded to Oklahoma City," he said. "We go to review the play. We saw two replays. The two replays we saw were from the overhead camera showing down, and the one from under the basket showing the same angle but from a different view. And from those two replays, it was inconclusive as to who the ball went out of bounds off of. When its inconclusive, we have to go with the call that was on the floor." The Thunder were more focused on what they did after the call. They can clinch the series Thursday in Los Angeles. "Ive never seen a game like this with us," Durant said. "It just shows that you can never keep us down. Were going to fight until the end no matter what happens. We fought through it all and persevered through it all." After the Thunder got possession, Westbrook was fouled by Chris Paul while shooting a 3-pointer with the Thunder trailing by two. Westbrook, who had missed a 3-pointer that would have won Game 4 in the closing seconds, welcomed the chance for redemption. "Im still upset about that shot that I missed in L.A. for the game, so tonight, I just tried to take my time, take a deep breath and knock em down," he said. After the free throws, Paul drove to the hoop, but Jackson stole the ball from him, and time expired. "Probably the toughest thing Ive been through, basketball-wise," Paul said. "Everything that happened there at the end is on me. It was just bad basketball." Durant scored 10 of his 27 points in the final 3:23 after shooting 3 for 17 through three quarters. "Great players can have a bad shooting night, have a great three minutes and be the superstars that they are," Thunder coach Scott Brooks said. "He hung in there and there were times where he thought nothing would go right. They stuck together and fought through a lot of tough situations." Blake Griffin had 24 points and 17 rebounds, Crawford scored 19 points and Paul had 17 points and 14 assists for the Clippers. It was the latest in a string of spectacular games for Westbrook. He is averaging 29.6 points, 6.6 rebounds and 6.8 assists in the series. "Hes fierce and hes fearless," Brooks said. "Hes a winner. The guy competes for his team every single night and he practices the way he plays. He makes basketball plays to put our team in a winning position." The Clippers took a 101-88 lead in the fourth quarter on a 3-pointer by Crawford with 4:13 to play before Durant finally got involved. He hit a 3-pointer with 3:23 remaining on his first shot of the quarter, then drained two free throws to cut the Clippers lead to 101-95. A layup by Jackson cut Los Angeles lead to four. Griffin made the first of two free throws, and Glen Davis grabbed the rebound of the second. Pauls mid-range jumper on the extra possession gave the Clippers a 104-97 edge with 49 seconds to play. The Clippers appeared on their way to taking control of the series. Now, they are on the brink of elimination. "Weve been regrouping all year," Rivers said. "Well be ready to play when we get to L.A. This ones going to hurt. None of this would have happened if wed taken care of business. That didnt happen. Well be ready."

The teams were scoreless for most of the first two periods before Canada scored three times in a span of less than four minutes. Sarah Potomak opened the scoring on the power play.OLIVA, Spain -- Canada was unable to get any offence going again Tuesday as the national mens team closed out its first camp under new head coach Benito Floro with a 1-0 loss to Mauritania. Adama Ba scored the games lone goal eight minutes into the second half. Canada had thoroughly dominated play throughout the game, a solid development for a young squad that continues to adjust to a new system. "Apart from the one goal against us I think it was a superb performance," said midfielder Julian de Guzman, who wore the captains armband. The result came two days after the teams played to a scoreless draw. "I think we can only get better once the core of the team is finally picked out and theres a lot more to look forward to," de Guzman added. Canada played the second half with 10 men after defender Marcel de Jong was sent off late in the first half for two yellow cards. Bas goal came on a ball that was played over the top. He was barely onside and beat goaltender Milan Borjan with a low shot. The focus for the Canadian players here was on the performance rather than the result, and they were pleased that they dominated in possession. "At this moment for us, the most important (thing) is to play well -- to achieve all the moves in attack and defence," said Floro. "I think they played very well." Canada had four corner kicks in the early going and nearly had a goal in the 33rd minute when defender Adam Straith plaayed a high free kick to the right side.dddddddddddd Tosaint Ricketts ran onto the ball and drew out Mauritanian goalkeeper Souleyman Diallo. Ricketts played the ball across the goal to Nakajima-Farran but his powerful shot was blocked. Canada pressed in the second half but couldnt pull even. Crosses came in from all directions but they never found the mark. "We werent concentrating as high as we could have but I feel like after they scored we did dominate the game," said Straith. "At the end of the game its not going to be good enough to just dominate and not score and not get a result at some point." Mauritania was reduced to 10 men in the 63rd minute when Oumar NDiaye was given a second yellow card for a foul on Issey Nakajima-Farran. Second-half substitute Samuel Piette had a chance in the 68th minute when he found the space to get off a low, hard shot. Diallo couldnt hold onto it but there were no Canadians in the box to take advantage of the rebound. Canada, which has had trouble scoring all year, remains winless over 10 games in 2013. "What was missing was pretty much whats been missing since a very long time and thats scoring," said de Guzman. "Hopefully thats something that we can work on going into the next couple camps but the purpose of this camp was to get to know how the philosophy of Benitos football and for the most part I think a lot of the guys were able to pick up on that."
