OKLAHOMA CITY -- Serge Ibaka showed the Thunder the best of what they let go.The forward, traded from Oklahoma City to Orlando in the offseason, hit a baseline jumper with less than a second remaining to give the Magic a 119-117 win over Russell Westbrook and the Thunder on Sunday night.Coach called my name, and I was ready, Ibaka said. I work on my shot every night and every summer, so I was just ready to make a play.Though he enjoyed his time with the Thunder and respects the organization and the fans, he said it was an emotional day and it was important for him to play well. He scored a career-high 31 points and added nine rebounds and four blocks.Im not going to lie to you, it feels good, he said.With the score tied in the final minute, Westbrook missed a pull-up jumper, and Orlando rebounded and called timeout with 11 seconds remaining to set up Ibakas winner with 0.4 seconds left. Ibaka pump-faked Steven Adams, got him to bite, then drained the shot.He had a special performance, Magic coach Frank Vogel said. A night Im sure hell remember for the rest of his career.Ibaka was cheered loudly during pregame introductions. He acknowledged the fans by twice raising both arms to the sky.It shows that the people still love me, and I respect that and appreciate that a lot, he said.Westbrook finished with 41 points, 16 assists and 12 rebounds for his third triple-double of the season and 40th of his career. The Thunder had won 20 straight when Westbrook tallied a triple-double.We were playing too slow, he said. The faster we play, the harder it is to guard us, especially when we get the ball moving.Elfrid Payton scored 23 points and Evan Fournier added 21 for the Magic, who snapped a three-game losing streak.It was the third straight home loss for the Thunder after a 6-1 start.Weve got a lot we need to work on and continue to work on, and all these guys are working, are trying, are really giving good effort, Thunder coach Billy Donovan said.Oklahoma Citys Victor Oladipo, who came to the Thunder in the Ibaka deal, scored 12 points.The Magic led by 21 in the second quarter and were up 57-47 at halftime.

Really emotional, she sobbed. Just because as well hes going to be retired, I havent said when but its on the cards to retire. Go home and make a plan. I know Ive done my best and hes done his.Dujardin finished ahead of Isabell Werth and Kristina Broring-Sprehe, who were both part of the Germany team that won Friday.It was a fourth silver medal for Werth and a 10th overall, making the 47-year-old the most decorated Olympic equestrian rider.Im really happy about it, Werth said. When I went in I knew Charlotte had 93 or 94 percent so I knew we would not have the next world wonder but I tried, it was really fun today and I enjoyed my ride. Its been fantastic for us the German team, with the gold, silver and bronze.Werth had a score of 89.071 on Weihegold OLD, with Broring-Sprehe posting 87.142 on Desperados.Dujardin visited Rio de Janeiros famoous Christ the Redeemer statue the previous day and joked I got on my hands and knees and prayed .dddddddddddd.. and maybe that helped.The British rider admitted she had felt the pressure and expectation to deliver and felt unusually nervous going into the arena.Going to London I didnt have any expectations for the individual, Dujardin said. I just went out there, did my thing and it happened. Coming here, I had to defend that title, I had expectations, I had the pressure and I did feel it a liitle bit, for the first time ever.As soon as I got in the arena, I trotted around the outside and Valegro gave me the most incredible feeling, put a smile on my face and I just knew then it was all going to be okay and it was. It was just one of those magical rides where you know you have that partnership, that connection, that bond with your horse.Valegro may be set to retire imminently, but Dujardin already has her sights set on a third successive gold in Tokyo -- although she knows it will be a tall order to find another brilliant horse.How many horses can do that time and time again, she said. He is a once in a lifetime horse. Its another huge challenge to try and recreate and do it all over again. There will never be another Valegro. I dont want anyone ever to compare a horse I ride to Valegro because there will never be another him. ' ' '
