The Portland Trail Blazers snapped the Oklahoma City Thunder 's perfect record as defending champions in a 121-119 win that went down to the wire at the Moda Center. Amid injuries the Blazers continued their impressive start with possibly their best performance yet. Portland erased a 22-point deficit, but with 2:48 left, nearly coughed up an eight-point lead (112-104). The Thunder pulled to within three with 6.5 seconds remaining.

Then, Thunder guard Isaiah Joe drew a three-point shooting foul on Toumani Camara with 0.6 seconds left in the game. However, upon the officials' review, it was determined that Joe's foot was on the three-point arc and not behind it, sending him to the free-throw line for two, and not three, which would have given Joe an opportunity to tie the game.
