Russell Westbrook (20 points to 9/13 shots, 7 assists) recited a very clean basketball in the Thunder's third-ranked victory after a gesture and a blatant foul on Nikola Jokic.
After a narrow victory against Melbourne, Oklahoma City made the trade against Denver (96-86) with fine performances for Paul George (19 points, 11 rebounds, 4 assists, 5 interceptions) and Carmelo Anthony (16 points, 9 rebounds ) to finish the preseason.
OKC took the lead in the first quarter, with a quick ten-point lead.
Denver then tried to come back several times, notably under the leadership of Will Barton (26 points, 5 rebounds, 3 assists, 3 interceptions) and Nikola Jokic (11 points, 12 rebounds).
The men of Mike Malone will even return to -1 (76-75) in the money time, but they will take in behind a terrible 15-2. It was too random on the Nuggets side, like a Gary Harris awkward at 11 points but 3/10 on shots.
For the Thunder, Josh Huestis (15 points, 9 rebounds) is the surprise guest of this preseason. Huestis, who has been a two-time contender for Melbourne, has shown himself to be a skilful player in the game.
A good point for the younger ones like Terrance Ferguson, Dakari Johnson and Daniel Hamilton, all decisive in the money time at the time of the break.
