OKC Thunder vs Denver Nuggets | Game Highlights | January 31, 2024

Shay puts his head down goes right to the cup Mark dull talks about it consistently all those invisible things that he does that don’t show up you recognize over the course of a game as Josh skiddy able to put his head down and shot over to the top of

Watson and a nice steal on the backside boy SGA loves that anticipation he’s got a front Court player on him spinning away from Gordon that time on the turn around nicely Done well no Jay dub tonight part of that Trio and another block from Chad holen that time so slow start offensively Gordon a side step that’s blocked number three already in the first 6 minutes and 10 seconds for chat holgren SGA slices right to the cup Scopes and

Scores four sir on the interior already three blocks this this is just a big brother block that’s what I call it folks cuz Big Brothers always back to protecting the rim and it leads to those kind of buckets on the other end cter offense is short circuited a

Little bit here Wiggins drives in floats it up got it up over Gordon came in got the offensive rebound and been getting some offensive rebounds so far that’s the fifth here as Jay will from the outside delivers a bone that’s what you got to look forward

To for the next three quarters got that tough quarter out of the way meic how about that take put it on the deck went right to the cup hren skip pass over to Wiggins side step fly by now he’s got to put it up nope it’s going to be meix to

Beat the shot block and meix does as he drains that Three Corner look at the shot clock is at two yeah there’s two guys on him two show what it’s capable of Jackson Another green light shot nii blocked on the backside ched hren got another piece and it’s last Touch by

Denver you’re tool to block to keep it in play this time he keeps it in play off of his head especially when they shrink to floor on you meic again finds a wide open shooter it is Wiggins from the outside not going to miss that that’s a

Layup line three I have to say that sometimes because he makes those blocks that he makes it look easy but on a scale of 1 to 10 a lot of them are just 10 oh and there’s a bump and a foul L dor a shot watch this here from

Jay will there just kind of stood him up he just didn’t see the screen and and that’s not Jay Will’s fault that’s the guy that’s guarding Jay that’ll be in the month of February theunder looking forward to getting to Wiggins once again off the catch the feed from meic that’s the

Second time that he has set him up for an in Rhythm three down the floor how about this look at the all five white shirts look at that folks all pretty much in the paint and look at the spacing I mean you had options there Lou Dort Aaron Wiggins obviously as the physicality

Continues the cut Jay will left-handed layup for a f getting fired at down low how about this we talked about their partner speeding this game up this is a Speed game the Thunder need to stay with right here I watched her man she can

Drop it man I’m just saying oh this is a good post up here about champ I mean you love that you can’t stop that I mean just go start running down the cour he got a lot of Leverage out of playing with some Pace a what a great action

There SDA little give and go between him and Jay will and don’t forget about meic and his seven well he’s got options on that play right there I like that play So Michael your key coming into this was Bench scoring as Murray got stood up by chat holgren didn’t get the block but

Got the Miss dork he’s able to slip inside pop guy but he slips the screen watch him here folks there’s just a little slip here in itself that’s affecting that scoreboard done a great job of cutting off the interior Short’s going to kick it out to hren in Rhythm Catch Fire three that is

Good stay corrected F add one more to that 13 if that three had have gone down by Shay SGA one of the two for one he’s going to get the block on the other end as Jackson wiggled his way around him momentarily extended out on the three-point line SGA tailing him Jackson

Hangs that is block number four for Chad holgren are used to this like the LT that he covers goes to Denver as giddy trying to make his move no look turn around that’s a tough shot shot it up over Watson Watson’s three rims out and this

Is where the Thunder want to continue to push the pace on this game how about this man my goodness come on we talked about speeding this game up look at this this is a transition play here folks look at this man did he throw that underhand young players do not do this

At home he he nutmeg them too how did he over to kcp not your typical SGA shooting half plus up to this point just four for 13 and you see the defense collapse there on Gordon good job game tackle that rebound and that time Shay in the ring

Them off the deck pulled up on a good defensive player in kcp back and forth against them and not allowing them to set up their defense hren getting harassed inside he had multiple Defenders on him swiping at the basketball I believe all those Open dates when we get to it right

Now it’s like an illusion felt like a basically an impossible time to get to because of all the work that had to be done in this month of January in the paint this quarter see if he can get going Jamal Murray with new Dort right up in his

Face and the Thunder have an opportunity to go in front SGA got around Jackson left hand lollipop layup goes high off the window have been able to generate just enough offense even in these LS Wallace from the outside K Wallace it’s shots like that that have kept the

Thunder in it 14 points always looking to score doesn’t do it there on the pull up three wall was very disciplined on that blows out Jay on the step back it’s that three to drop Jay going to work on Brown outside open shot it’s hren for three and Chad hren makes it

7372 up another assist from Meier both of these teams have been committed to the defense shot never hit the rim for meic meic caught inside Murray came over tried to block the shot instead commits the foul scrambled possession how about that nice little rifle of a pass Inside

By Chad he just fires it right to him hit him right in the shooting pocket he’s just got to just put it up you see K Wallace do a good job of keeping him out of the lane mly loves that mid-range shot dancing around trying to dump it

Off Nai got tied up K Rich Williams dor diving for it saves it crosscourt to hren FR with some dangerous passes Wallace drives hangs and scores off the window the hustle the scrappiness the Dives the defense has been there all night for the Thunder it starts off this fourth quarter the rookie [Applause]

Wallage and a recycled 14 here in these non Shay minutes to start the fourth quarter HRI put it on the deck and just lowered the shoulder bowling his way in the lane interior valve for Denver they rely on points in the paint a ton D from

The outside finally gets one to go go after missing his first three that’s not ideal for Denver but they’ll take it at this point just to slow down to Thunder’s offense oh meic a little hesitation basam meic they have done just that part of the Thunder game plan has

Been keeping Denver out of the lane the plays like that from ched holr the shot clock H five H the double team over to Dort Dort little side step hangs in the air long enough no good and HR comes in over the top of the

Jam as a nice little follow up by the big man as he Garners his 15th point to add to the double double and it just has not been there Tonight Dort side step fly by three is good cashes it in sort of the the relief from Dort after the first make and nice ball fake there to get the fly by they had numbers that’s basketball in 2024 for you Jay will quick turn around puts it

Up and in he is singlehandedly keeping Denver in this game Shay spinning foul and able to bank it in got rake by Murray walked away shook his head said look you know the guy is spinning he’s dipping and he’s pumping Shay once again try to bend that Denver

Defense going a step back three action sga’s got his second as he RS the cords from th follows the Miss got it back outside the hren he will fire away and hit the three the Thunder got a little breathing room as he kicks it out to chat and the

Rookie does what most rookies can’t do defensive end but the Thunder found a way down the stretch Jackson just dribbling the clock away Thunder will give him that too and be able to run this clock out and pull out the victory over the Nuggets 105 100 to close out

This heavy January schedule going 11 and six

  1. -Slide Chet to PF position. He also needs to step up his scoring and rebounding game.
    -Add a versatile big at C who can rebound and body up inside the paint, then slide JDub to SF.
    -I am not sure about Giddey or Dort or none of them remains at the starting five.
    -Give Wiggins more playing time.
    -Please continue playing the JWill+Kenrich combo in the future.

  2. Great effort, fellas. I really like Nicic as a solid contributor, off the bench. Just the right amount of confidence, with results.

  3. Excellent effort by the whole team tonight and we learn from the mistakes from the last game against Minnesota on Monday to finish this bruising, physical and challenging month with an 11-6 record.. On to Charlotte on Friday Night. Got to continue the 0-0 mentality and stacking days on the practice court and games…

  4. Boricua Hispanic indian n black IAM.. chet did good. Jalen was out but shai always keep winning.😢 Just keep playing like that n winning..
