Shai Gilgeous-Alexander scored 35 points and hit the go-ahead 3-pointer late as the Oklahoma City Thunder defeated the Denver Nuggets 129-126 on Monday night. Oklahoma City overcame a major rebounding deficit—Denver grabbed 56 boards and 16 offensive rebounds—by shooting 51% from the field and committing only three turnovers. Jaylin Williams added 29 points and 12 rebounds, while Nikola Jokic led Denver with 32 points, 14 rebounds and 13 assists.
- Unlike the slog of a win against the Golden State Warriors on Saturday, last night's game against the Nuggets was an offensive feast. Despite aggressive defense by both teams, neither defense could slow the other's offense.
