When all eyes were on Russell Westbrook, Kevin Durant couldn't watch.

The 2013-14 NBA MVP went to the opposite end of the court at Chesapeake Energy Arena and sat down when his teammate stood at the free throw with just six seconds remaining in Game 5 of the Western Conference semifinals against the Los Angeles Clippers. The Thunder trailed 104-102 and Westbrook had been fouled while attempting a three-point shot. Duran sat facing the home crowd as Westbrook calmly knocked down all three free throws to send the Thunder to an improbable 105-104 win.
