Portland Trail Blazers small forward Nicolas Batum has said that his side's encounter with the Golden State Warriors on Sunday was "the craziest game of the year".

The Blazers won out 119-117 in overtime to clinch at least a fifth-seed playoff spot in the Western Conference, with Batum managing to contribute 18 points, 12 rebounds and five assists at the Moda Center.

"That was a fun game, a crazy game. We'd make a shot, they'd come right back at us. ... craziest game of the year," Batum revealed after the game.

The victory sees the Blazers occupying second position in the Northwest Division, with a record of 53-28 for the season.
