Ultimately, Denver's defensive struggles and second-quarter woes, where they were outscored by 9, contributed to the loss. Oklahoma City overcame Denver's rebounding advantage (56 boards to OKC's total) by shooting 51% from the field. Jaylin Williams had a career-high 29 points and 12 rebounds, hitting seven three-pointers. Ajay Mitchell, returning from injury, added 24 points off the bench. The Nuggets struggled to contain Gilgeous-Alexander, who demonstrated late-game heroics. Denver had tied the game at 126, but SGA's three-pointer sealed the win for Oklahoma City. The Thunder are now treating the Nuggets the way the Nuggets treated the Lakers during their championship run.
