The Oklahoma City Thunder defeated the Denver Nuggets at home, 95-94. The win brings their record back to .500, as they are now sitting at 15-15 and, improbably, only a game out of the 5th seed despite all the challenges they’ve faced throughout the season thus far.
The Thunder were led by Russell Westbrook who appears to be undergoing a bit of a surge lately. This game could have been picked out of his MVP campaign, as he nearly single-handedly delivered a game to the Thunder which appeared to be following a familiar script.
