OSHKOSH, Wis. (Interstat) — In a wild G League shootout that required an extra period to decide, the visiting Noblesville Boom outlasted the Wisconsin Herd 117-115 in overtime on Saturday night at Oshkosh Arena.

The game turned on a frenetic final sequence in regulation. Trailing by three points with nine seconds remaining, Noblesville’s Cody Martin was called for an offensive foul, seemingly sealing the win for Wisconsin. After Victor Oladipo made two free throws to extend the Herd lead to 109-107, the Boom called timeout with six seconds left.

Noblesville’s ensuing inbounds play went awry as Jalen Slawson’s pass was stolen by Wisconsin’s Kobe Stewart. The Herd’s Mark Sears then missed a potential game-ending three-pointer, but was fouled on the floor by RJ Felton with no time remaining. Oladipo made the first free throw to put Wisconsin up 110-107 but missed the second. On the miss, Cormac Ryan was called for a lane violation, turning the ball over and giving Noblesville one final, desperate chance with 0.6 seconds left.

Noblesville responded with Gabe McGlothan drawing a foul and making one of two free throws to tie the game at 115 with 1:36 remaining. After a defensive stop, McGlothan was fouled again with 1:22 left and calmly sank both free throws to put the Boom ahead for good at 117-115.
