Oklahoma City Thunder continues to be the "nightmare" of Denver Nuggets in the NBA when breaking the winning streak of this team led by superstar Nikola Jokic, who is in very good form.
Nikola Jokic's frustration
Entering the match with Oklahoma City Thunder, Jokic had an extremely effective performance and scored 19 points along with 10 rebounds and 7 assists. But that was not enough for Jokic and his teammates to win.
The first and second quarters were a time when the two teams were at a stalemate and ended with a 6-point advantage in favor of the away team. Entering the third quarter, Denver had a breakthrough when they narrowed the score to 56-94.
But then, the sloppiness in the third quarter allowed the Oklahoma City Thunder to have two long scoring streaks and then put an end to Denver with a final score of 93-119. A series of Oklahoma City Thunder names spoke up and the most impressive performer was Shai Gilegous-Alexander with 40 points (17 points in the third quarter) along with 4 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 steals.

The Canadian star ended one of his most "efficient" matches since the beginning of the season. Besides, Chet Holmgren also scored 24 points with 2 blocks. In addition, Vietnamese-American player Jaylin Williams also showed himself with 8 rebounds, 4 assists, 1 steal and 1 block. Commenting on the force, Oklahoma City Thunder is assessed by experts as a young, strong team and once taking the lead, the match situation will definitely be settled.
Speaking of Denver, the team is missing Aaron Gordon, who was attacked by his dog and required 21 stitches on his face and hand and has no clear return date. This is the team's second loss in the last 11 NBA games, but surprisingly both losses came against the Oklahoma City Thunder.
