The Oklahoma City Thunder’s undefeated streak came to a nail-biting halt last night as they fell to the Denver Nuggets, 124-122. With the loss, the Thunder now sit at 7-1 on the season.
In a game that came down to the final moments, Jalen Williams put up an impressive performance, leading the team with 29 points, 10 rebounds, and 9 assists. His all-around brilliance kept Oklahoma City in the game, with Gilgeous-Alexander right behind him, contributing 28 points and 6 assists. Despite their efforts, the Nuggets’ resilience and clutch play in the closing moments were enough to edge the Thunder out.
This narrow loss was a tough one for a team that had been riding high on a perfect record, but it highlights the competitive spirit and strength the Thunder are building this season. While the streak is over, their performance against a top contender like the Nuggets shows the potential this young team has as they continue to grow.
