Best images from the Thunder’s 101-99 win over the Nuggets

The Oklahoma City Thunder escaped with a 101-99 road win over the Denver Nuggets on Sunday.

Albeit, the Nuggets were without Nikola Jokic and Michael Porter Jr., it’s still an impressive win for the Thunder against a first-place team riding a nine-game winning streak.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander headlined the win with 34 points on 13-of-21 shooting, including the game-winning shot that saw him bank in an eight-foot jumper.

The inbound passer, Josh Giddey, also had a nice night with 18 points, nine rebounds and three assists.

Let’s take a look at some of the best photos from the Thunder’s two-point win over the Nuggets.
