You could feel that something wasn’t right. After pushing their lead to 18, the Denver Nuggets slowly began to crumble, allowing the Oklahoma City Thunder to go on a 5-0 run in the final 23 seconds of the third quarter.
Oklahoma City came back to take a three point lead with five minutes remaining in the fourth, but the Nuggets showed poise, locking down on defense and making buckets when it mattered on offense en route to their win.
Nikola Jokic lead the way for Denver, falling just one rebound shy of a triple double while also contributing 36 points and 10 assists.
