The Denver Nuggets hosted the new-look Oklahoma City Thunder for their first game of the year at the Pepsi Center. The Nuggets were looking to finish the preseason with four wins and just one loss but fell 96-86.
Here’s how each Nuggets’ player faired:
This was a strange game from the Serbian phenom. Yes, his rebounding came back. Yes, he was hitting cutters with pin point passing. Yes, his touch was on display as a shooter. While all of that is good Jokic shot as badly as anyone on the roster and struggled on defense. Jokic is still Jokic and shows all of the incredible skills that make him so intriguing but he has not been as impactful as he was to finish last season.
