Key Takeaways
- Oklahoma City shot a scorching 50% from the field and 41.4% from deep.
- Despite Jokic’s 44-point masterpiece, Denver’s poor perimeter shooting (28.3% from 3) proved costly.
- Six Thunder players scored in double figures, led by SGA’s 31.
- Lu Dort’s fourth-quarter threes turned the tide, and Jalen Williams’ clutch shot late sealed it.
