Then on Wednesday they’ll TI it off a road trip beginning in Oklahoma City where they’ll take on the Thunder and no secret that this team can be very tough in their own building and that’s good news as they are loaded up with home games over the next stretch this is the
Chance to create some separation now let’s take a look at the nugets opening lineup the small and power forwards are Porter and Gordon the guard pair are Murray and Caldwell pop and it’s Y in at Center and for the Thunder the post form will be Williams in hren gilis Alexander
Out there with Josh Giddy and it’s Dort at the three SWOT it’s cavius odwell pop with the five that’s his first foul hey Brent what an exciting day we have for us here day one of the regular season upon and we are ready to go really
Stoked to be with you here tonight you could not ask for a better matchup the energy is palpable and it’s fair to expect both of these teams are going to bring it over in the corner Williams it’s brought by Gordon a SWAT thereon Gordon Murray outside out the pass to
For that’s in there Murray with the assist nice effort taking the early lead here we go ah taking that nice deep you score on that first possession it’s the game started the right way now here’s G Alexander and it’s set back by joic what Instinct on joic saw that blade develop
And got right to the spot and it’s out of bounds Oklahoma City able to rain possession you got to love strong defense especially when it comes in the form of harsh rejection wow and right out of the gate trying to set the tone defensively you got to love that
In and zo Diddy with it he BRS it up for theunder shot clock at two some true defense there by kcp using solid footwork to stay on the shter man he’s had three good looks at basket and nothing to show for it Oklahoma City St two
From d mle and you could tell he thought that triple is going to fall pass to Murray outside Gordon inside here’s joic and the rejection by hren already set a summer league record for blocks in his first game home one of the best hunk shot blockers in the
League Alexander it’s all in by the Nuggets yeah slow start right now five straight misses to get this one going down low a 10-footer and joic gets a go the assist by Gordon not going to intimidate yic at that range his Focus tonight razor sharp GIS Alexander surveying the Deep
That’s in for the first basket of the game out of three attempts such a critical part of how their offense is going to flow things are only working when he seems to be on the floor here’s Porter and finish off by Porter and Porter has such great
Athleticism able to get up and throw it down Thunder have gotten only one of six shots to drop them to start this game and for the last several years Brent the nuggets have been a top passing team in the NBA such a huge part of their success an unselfish team it’s so hard
To defend guys who are not only willing to move but willing to give up the ball to guys on the move and that’s what they do such a cohesive unit here for the Denver regie jacks checked in for the nuggets and how can you not love the
Game of SGA I mean a young guard who continues to get back Greg all the report to get out of OKC is that this kid is a worker and he has turned himself into an allar with that kind of work e and so it’s short with it he
Brings it up for Oklahoma City Trail by one here’s Alexander and it’s sent by yic and here in the first about 3 minutes in for three misses that one he’s made one and miss two this game for far William passes to gilges Alexander gisen on Murry a and it’s blocked by Gordon and
That one goes out of bound Touch by Porter here’s the list of players who had the most steals in the NBA last season fourth Shay gilis Alexander he showed such tremendous defensive instincts trust me nobody want him guarding them last year hren binds Jord four on the shot get no one around
Him thund with another Miss Denver in the lead here’s Gordon and Gordon with the oh well look joic already joined the list NBA’s greatest passive big man good about that G just Alexander against Murray hren with a screen on Murray passes it to hren finds himself wide open in [Applause]
Dr and here’s joic last game 26 points left side Gordon here’s Murray gets it to go from 18 ft away well you give up any kind of space like that to Jamal Murray even from the mid-range he’ll torture you and the call is going to be yes yes
It is an ilal screener looking now at the numbers for back how he formed last season he averaged about 10 points a game last year three assists and two rebounds and he’s also a bit of a stopper defensively they put him in and their defense really tights up this is
Specially he sits on the bench he gauges what’s happening offensively and he comes in and sticks the opponent’s top score to freeze him out this is as good as it gets for a first quarter in terms of shooting the basketball Murray against gilis Alexander pass dor and it’s blocked
By now here muray and the game against Philadelphia very impressive loic passes to M quarter with it there’s the triple another three for Denver yeah that’s back to back threes the D just seems to be slacking off a little bit for Oklahoma City their last game was a Lun
To the Detroit Pistons B just Alexander passes to Giddy outside to and just miss after miss right now and even though he didn’t get get a piece of that shot you love the pressure he puts on the shoo yeah that’s the kind of energy that you want to see on every
Possession throughout the game I I like their focus coming in terrific execution so far well if there four or five boxes to check in terms of the game plan tonight they might have checked six I mean they’re doing everything out there and first time out of the game called for Oklahoma
City looking now at some numbers for Shay Gil Alexander he’s coming off an excellent season and he was just a machine at the charity top five in the league in free throw percentage and clearly one of the dominant scores we we have in this league his top five ranking last year
Puts him right there in the ranks of the elite here’s dipped away the pass to Giddy here’s Dort outside G Alexander down to five on the shot clock and stolen by Murray and it’s blocked by gilis Alexander superb D from guilis Alexander using his leg to wipe away the [Applause]
Shot here’s huray he’s got five outside Gordon from The Arc it’s Reed by G they’ve been beating them to a lot of those loose ball and rebounds here to start that’s to Hren they offense Stone Cold another Miss there Denver leading by 11 quter dishes to Jon Mur outside it’s good the assist the time from Jackson Murray’s got eight points and D has gotten a little bit l next here defending the Triple G just Alexander passes giddy outside for disis Alexander good
On the three-pin shot points for him Revenge Alexander come right back for three of his eight yic against hren wide open look here for Murray again the Miss by Murray and even without that three ball dropping for him def think should have done more on that last play and two
Shots coming up at the line as it’s fouled on the shot and there’s the foul against Denver you know shake gilis Alexander has so many of the qualities that you want in the leader fights energetic he’s a team first guy and he just looks for ways to get his guys fired up
And the first one at the line is good Shan G Alexander Brent an Allstar for the first time in 2023 and SGA made a lot of noise in that season averaging 30 a game man this guy was shown he could be a franchise player and the main man on young OKC team
Denver making a switch here Jordan’s checked in he hits both from the fight in regard to the Thunder they had to go through bag a rebuilding process not too long ago yeah it was a tough couple years they had a plan in place and did it the right way they made him smart
Signing created a very balanced roster gidy pass to dor shoots the three it’s on by the nuggets and the stroke definitely lacking confidence this quarter Nothing On Target to the inside dway and it’s out of bounds the knight’s able to retain possession here Ball’s checked in for the Thunder here’s
Murray and then a Miss by Denver not his be KN from the field but looking for other ways and finding them so he can chip in and it’s blocked by Jordan well the arms of DeAndre Jordan are like a horizon line they go on forever which allows him to send those shots back
That’s good from Porter on the assist for Jackson Porter’s got nine points and they have owned the paint so far and the score reflects it the bully ball tonight has paid dividends highly affect down there with the physical play now here’s George popping on the board that’s a foul called on Reg
Jackson That’s foul number two for him so it’s both teams making substitutions [Applause] here Wallace against Murray Wallace kicks to hren and the dunk by hren I mean sneaky when he moves around the floor home takes you out of the play SS pass and just rolls to Mo now here’s
Jackson Gordon deciding where to go with [Applause] it be the yard good for the basket starting off one for one with that D and he’s not going to miss that sort of an opportunity from Deep the pass to Jackson outside [Applause] Jordan pass to W Oklahoma City on D six-point game
Here’s Jackson solid as a rock from 20 ft away well the role of Reggie Jackson all the teams he’s played for is to Simply Get Buckets Wallace pass to Joe over Jackson it’s hauled in by Watson yeah but the hand in the face it’s critical that you contest his shots every time down
Theor Jackson kicks to offline with this be a time to best him right now just give him a bit of a try to help him get back on track here’s Wallace off Target from outside and it’s Jackson with a ball bringing it up for the Nuggets they’re leading by
Eight Murray with it and it’s Wallace picking him Murray no good he wants to shoot his way out of this cold pill but the struggles continue yeah he’s got to move on forget about the sequence here and try to find a way to get on the board now here’s Wiggins he has yet
Scorea City moving the ball around three hren got it he’s now three for five from field and with that threat the outside jump H generate space for this offense outside Jackson B loose and stolen by Wallace left try and the Thunder another three and it just seems that every pass they
Make is leading to a score great ball [Applause] movement B against Mur and another Miss by Denver sometimes you just have an off night guys and that’s what we’ve seen so far over in the corner Williams over Jackson that doesn’t go on the P to time his touch from mid-range that’s almost
Always good that won’t shake his C confidence to Middle here’s Watson and the rection by H wow good de CH there that is his calling Joe can’t get it to go oon with it now the dish to M there’s Jackson with the three Williams with the defensive
Effort buried from outside but I don’t know I think we may see a review here that was pretty close the preest play is to review did he get the basket off in time and they they’re making sure on this one even though it may not matter in the grand scheme but the replay
Process is faster than ever you know why not the ruling on the floor is confirmed and they’re keeping the call as is it was close but he had not released it before the clock had expired yeah still better safe and sorry I think they did the right thing to take another
Look at it and if it’s so close that you can’t tell by the naked eye might as well go to the slowmo and so it’s Michael Porter making things happen for the Nuggets he finishes with nine points in the quarter the D is having all sorts of problems with them don’t go anywhere
We’ll be right back and getting going again here in the second quarter fairly close game so far and from what we’ve been watching guys the Nuggets what do you seeing out there well this is The Edge that great Rim protection can give you yeah you can’t be careless with your shot selection out
There because some of them are getting thrown back Wallace is out there with gilges Alexander then it’s Williams then it’s Wiggins and it’s Williams at the pit spot Manning the middle that’s the group for Oklahoma City getting going here in second jaon hits from the post Jackson
Has no problem trying to find some space in the mid-range he’ll take all of those passes it to Wiggins launches it rebound by nuggets he led by as many 14 points a nice shot by Brown Browns got himself going there his first points of the game on the Deep
Ball Gil Alexander Jackson he muscles it in through the contact and they call the five he’s on his way to the free throw one coaches love guilis Alexander and the way that he’s working he’s refusing to give in against that kind of airtight defense coaches say G the league has a problem
When it’s punishing the Retaliator and not the indicator do they have a point Kevin I think so for any it’s worth asking who started it and that’s what we do in life normally right now here’s Jackson shs over Gil Alexander down by Williams under trailing by four and it’s gilges Alexander in the
Corner over Jackson a thunder with another Miss and I was sure that was money on that one but everyone has afforded an easy Miss to that happens important thing is for players just don’t beat yourself up and make a Miss like that cost you another play and a
Closer look here at the hustle Dan for the Nuggets they’re contesting shots and also come up with some significant blocks putting a little doubt into the minds of the opposing Shooters I wonder if pace and playing fast is something that they’re being encouraged to do cuz
Right now they feel like the faster team and you hear it often Brent these nuggets are a complete team well you have a historic superstar in joic and this incredibly deep and talented Supporting Cast got a great experienced coaching sta this team had everything you need to win at the highest level and
They’re proving they can do that a moment now to hear from our sideline reporter Hall of Famer David Al David thank you kin now Jamal Murray had to be patient working his way back to Peak form after hiscl injury luckily for him hard work is nothing new he says I feel
Like I got better on the time I was out I don’t overthink when it comes to basketball you want to let shoot let me shoot I’m just confident in my game like that Kevin back to you yeah very confident right da thank you GES Alexander against
Jackson ball is the pass to Wiggins some nice Bing by Oklahoma City here good on that shot and with the lead has got to seven on the basket from and I like the back and forth here showing Confidence from R it seems like find out who can make the deepest right now it’s
A shootout and he can do a lot more damage to the rim than that and he wants to oh you’re right and with the lead they’re enjoying I’m surprised he did put a little something extra on that one now a timeout called by Oklahoma City in
Addition to going over the game plan and making whatever necessary adjustments have to made Greg this time out also the time for players to get rehydrated or hydr for the first time with some iterate plenty basketball still to be played here and they have to get recharged that’s a great Point without
Proper hydration a player can completely run out of gas down the stretch of a of a game and that’s something that none of these guys can afford to have happen if you’re going to battle all the way to the Finish you have got to be hydrated
We’re just over two and a half minutes into the second [Applause] quarter get it pass to gilis Alexander Williams with the ball from Deep G Alexander can’t get it to go the Nuggets leading by nine pass to Y him for three that’s in coming off the assist from mic
Joic has got his fourth assist with that left one here tonight Thunder have gone two six in the field in the second quarter so far gilis Alexander against Jackson how with the BL yic passes to Brown heyo here outside Jackson there’s the best to yic lock at sixs him for three Thunder with
The rebound Williams kicks to Dort here’s ois Alexander 13 point in the game to the paint count it and nugget lead has been cut down to just 10 points on the Williams gy just that six cents to find the open man Giles Alexander against Jackson inside
Watson and foul on the shot so he’ll get chance at the line Denver they have gone one for one making their previous attempt at the line and as a group they shot 75% from the line last season take a break take a break two no good on the free throw and Oklahoma
City making a change here Williams is checked in and then for den and Gordon he’s checking in for Justin holiday and it’s CW for Christian Brown no good at the strike this time second Miss also and taking a glance here at the Oklahoma City Thunder they are all
In on the absolutely you open up the coverage there to see what they have and they are not pared massive amounts of first round draft choices for this front office and that goes along with some young Talent they’ve already identified this team keep it very good very fast
With all of that break no secret this nuggets offense revolves around the two time MVP niic he’s the driving force no doubt Kevin they got job surrounding with the right kind players Isaac can defend shoot and play without the ball and knocks down the first one and they’re really getting more points at
The free throw line here in the second quarter and cwell Pope drops him both known as a three and D guy the leadership cwell Pope provides so important for this one they’ve looking out of sink offensively yeah their offense has ground two stand still gilis Alexander can’t get it to go
But nuggets lead by 12 yic passes to Jackson Gordon with a screen gilis Alexander and that one clearly a foul gets the whistle and two shots coming up Ellen Aaron Gordon keeps simple he is a for Sprint out on the floor he’s learned that’s when he’s at his best earlier in
His career he could try and do everything on the floor sometimes get himself into trouble now it’s about not forcing anything and letting the game come to it and the first one is well with Aaron Gordon it’s really never been a question of his talent really comes down to him
Consistently staying on the floor and being able to develop all that versatility that he does have Williams he checked in for the Thunder quarters checked in for the Nuggets muray comes in for Jackson and good on the second so he makes him both and to the surprise of
Many the Oklahoma City Thunder made the 2023 play in tournament yeah obviously they didn’t have their top draft choice playing because of injury and a lot of teams out there and the general public felt this team is really going to struggle this year but they made the
Play in tournament and showed a lot of improvement so the future bright in okd here’s Murray at to the m shot from Shay gilis Alexander yic draws the double alwell Co kicks to Y post that good and it’s Williams with the ball for Oklahoma City down by
12 Porter pulls it in’s gone past the three-point line for 13 of their shots 6 and 13 to the inside joic things getting physical but joic hammers it out and wins yeah and they’re shooting really starting to pick up here in the second time called here the Thunder decide to
Talk it over times checks in for Williams Oklahoma City’s gone one of four from three range in second not a whole lot dropping out there for them giddy with the screen on Murray knocked loose stolen by Carell Pope quarter with it D covering pass to M shoots over
Gil steps back and trains jump shot Murray’s got 10 points good sign of an efficient shooter there his release is liting quick giddy finds dord the 11f footer good defense by yish how about that hard noos D in the P right there nice job yeah he cut off every angle and then got
His body on him a Warriors effort well after getting off to a great start hitting those first two shots he’s definitely regressed a little bit in the quarter Denver leading by 15 pass to joic and foul on the shot he’ll shoot two at the free throw
Line that one on George L doing a better job as the years have gone just drawing more contact and getting to the line and that’s a good thing he’s an over 8% shooter there take a break take a break first free throw is good when he’s not
Dominating this sport we know that yic spends time with his other one you’re talking about horse racing specifically harness racing yic that is the sport he loves the most so it’s right there with basketball amazingly enough checked in for Oklahoma City comes in for Giles Alexander and great finishing last
Season with the number one seed in the Western Conference a lot of people still s on the Denver Nuggets and Kevin they’ had great regular seasons before only to fall short but with a healthy Murray and Porter j y has finally had the help to get it done here is Porter after
Oklahoma City gets the three shs over towards solid play on the low block and that one’s good Porter’s got 11 points and Porter thinks really that he can sar from anywhere and he might be right that kind of confidence that makes him gain ball kicks to Giddy hren sets the screen
For giddy a three-pointer no good it’s a plus five Advantage for them in rebounding after that onewell pop feeling it out of it pass to P outside for calwell poke good and the assist goes to y yic has got assist number five here tonight and that’s one way to extendedly
Continue to light up from long range they have all the confidence in the world right now from the three-point line now here’s Wallace he’s got six it’s good eight point for him that’s just a great individual play right through the teeth of the defense timeout is cold first of the game for the
Nuggets and with yel finals MVP and an NBA champion Greg he’s already alltime great and could go down as one of the greatest players ever he started to pile up hardware and awards amazing what he could accomplish the next few years and now here is the 2 leaderboard
With the list of the NBA’s best teams from three-point land a year ago four the Nuggets their long range shooting last year was nothing short up spectacular I mean they were absolutely unconscious from the three-point line Alis against Murray called with pop outside six in the shot clock yic with a screen on
Giddy that all R’s got seven points that’s a high percentage look when the D doesn’t f over the screen and Coach over there just asking for one simple thing and that’s some effort got burned on that one now here’s Wallace he’s got eight here’s Dort that’s his first
Basket of the game one for six and looking for more and Dort has nose for the it and M’s got the ball here Denver Gordon against Williams and here’s jic outside and a clear foul there as he shot the Tripper he’ll go to the line for three free throws good job
Trying to get a hand in the face but you’ve got to be more careful three trips the line so far for him in this one and the free throw line was a problem spot for him in their last game really struggled up there that free throw no good it’s going to be
A long time I don’t know if ever we’re going to see a big man pass like y does Shane gilis Alexanders checked in for the Thunder and the second to throw good and he Nails the third well it’s interesting to watch him because he’s putting his body on the line to get to
The line we didn’t see this during the first quarter but he’s making up for here now here’s G Alexander he’s got 15 and stolen by Murray into the lane shooting foul as the whistle blows he’ll shoot two free throw Murray right now just being relentless on the offensive end drives
Right into the foul and then takes that shot and Brent when do you say when it comes to Jamal Murray it’s all about staying helping from here on out well we’ve seen both sides of it right Greg when he’s healthy they’re good when Jamal Murray is not in the lineup and
Not confident in what he can provide to the lineup not so much so when Jamal is healthy Jamal’s a superstar Jamal Murray at his size the one impressive thing that stands out to me is that he will willingly go right at the defense Jordan he’s checked in for Nola
Yic Ando Murray nailed both of them thund trailing by 20 now giddy coming in off a 12p point him his last outing they get a hand on stolen by Gordon Murray with it he’s picked up by guilis Alexander he trains the quick shot Murray’s got 14 points oh Murray just
Pulling right up on the defense great at shooting off the dribble Codwell Pope against giddy a fre ball it’s h in by Michael Porter Porter got four rebounds in this game and they’ got a big lead not just on the scoreboard but really in the rebounding numbers as
Well for three Murray Thunder with the rebound Williams has got his fourth Rebound with that last one here tonight getting the pass to gilis Alexander and he comes with the deuce gilis Alexander’s got seven now in the quarter Gil Alexander has blossomed into this forceful guard just look at this
Performance they blow the whistle just as he gets it off that two points with a chance for another one at the stri making the easy shots and the tough shots he’s on top of his game first trip to the free throw line for him tonight
How about up over the 80% mark from the line last year so he’s happy and also consistent there with those numbers one Shot and when healthy pter Jr is such a massive contributor especially on the offensive end and for the Thunder they’re shooting a lackluster 38% for the game struggling so far now here’s GIS Alexander he’s got 17 hman wide open gets it to go from Beyond the yard he’s
Got 10 you remember when big men shooting threes were as rare as Sasquatch and now those big guys are everywhere here’s Porter it’s rebounded by Oklahoma City that might not be the shot they want him taking even with the D backing off outside for guilis Alexander outside
Williams shot hren sets the screen for Williams it’s h in by DeAndre Jordan just a solid performance on the interior the rebounding has been off the chart Al Pope finds Gordon he gets that one eight points for Aaron Gordon if you’re the defense you you live with that shot but
Aaron Gordon sometimes can make a difficult shot just two seconds between shot clocking game rejected by [Applause] mie passes to Yoo step back in fires and so it’s the Denver Nuggets pulling a 22-point lead as the quarter wrapped up and with as many three-pointers as they drain it’s easy
To see why they’re on the CP of a blowout and now we’ll send it over to David Aldridge who standing by Courtside David that’s guys thanks so much Dave for the great interview don’t go away folks we’ll be back for the second half of basketball right after [Applause]
This good to see you and welcome a lopsided game through two quarters and a big deficit for the Oklahoma City Thunder Ernie they had a ton of fouls jeez and the points they gave up at the free throw line added up in a hurry they got to calm down during the break and
Play much more control in the second half and let’s take a glance at what lies ahead a look at the upcoming schedule you know right now for the Thunder at this point you got to take every team you’re up against as tests asking yourself what can we do better
Than last year happens for us too Kenny you cook up any new approaches in the offseason well I’m going to reveal those you know all time not just all in one sitting but you’re right there is an opportunity to stretch and experiment see what’s working and what
Isn’t thank you for being with us now let’s send it to Kevin harand for the second half tip and there wasn’t too much drama in the first half but maybe things will tighten up here in the second vug leading by 22 Swan the four for Denver the guard bear are Murray and
Caldwell pop underneath in the post it’s Gordon and yic and it’s Porter and at the three the small forward and H possess is high high potential his length and versatility making him such an intriguing Prospect the Thunder sh their Fifth and six free throws of the game shooting
Two that for throw no good Greg just talking about ched hram and he’s a lot tougher I think than his frame might indicate physically and mentally he does not back down in fact he he’s often the one who initiates contact you think you’re going to bully him he’s going to try to bully
You and he sinks the second home gr’s physical gifts are pretty impressive his length and his height made him a threat under the hoop on both ends of the floor Murray the pass to joic the Nuggets moving ball [Applause] around and it’s block by gilis Alexander giddy kicks to gilis
Alexander whistle blows OS is good so a chance here for a three-point play impressive make by SGA not F by that Defender Brent you just don’t see many point guards tall the 68 but Josh giddy is one of them Josh does a great job Greg of using that size to his Advantage
He gets into positions on the floor we can see over the level of the defense and make some spectacular passes mind the lanes behind the lanes one shot that’s good from gilis alander and so it’s Murray who brings ball up for the Denver nuts and let’s
Head over to the sideline and C up with David ald thank you Kevin well the OKC Thunder is still building but is it fast enough for their Allstar guard Jay gilis Alexander SGA says I think we’re going to be a really team a lot sooner than
People think so it’s pretty easy for me to be patient I see the growth every day and I’m super excited about Kevin and we see it too hey David thank you nobody here William and a miss there on Triple Denver leading by 18 Porter kicks to Murr joic with the screen on gilis
Alexander H with the steel and now here’s gilgas Alexander the fast great chance and again Oklahoma City no good Denver’s got three-point shot off 16 times tonight seven times they’ve hit it nine times they’ve missed pass to M now here’s well Pope oh good on the trip not been easy
Start three straight misses here on the [Applause] possessions gilas Alexander against calwell po back to gilgas Alexander F on the clock takes the three rebound by Murray Murray’s got his fourth Rebound with that last one here tonight yeah they’re going to try to search out for somebody that’s got a hot
Hand right now one of four to start the half the assist toes Kevin just continue to grow they’re way ahead in that category B movement has been Flawless now here’s gilis Alexander 20 points for him back to Dort oh and he blocks it off the glass wow yeah the offense shuffling a
Bit to start this second half only one for the first five knocks it Loose taken away by Williams and there’s the pass to Giddy and that’ll be two free throws coming up officials on the call with the foul he’s going to be on Aaron Gordon
And giddy at his size can get to the inside and make some things happen that time drawing a foul this is his first free throw of the game and he was 73% from line a season ago average in that regard and he makes the first he one of
Those guys when he’s on the floor plays with that kind of joy that Steve often talks about Steph Curry this is a guy who wants to keep improving in any way that he can that one Falls so he hits both of [Applause] them three minutes on now in the third
Quarter on the wing quarter pass to joic and here’s Gordon he’s guarded by Williams down low here’s joic it’s rebounded by Oklahoma City dor got his fourth re in this one didy with it now guarded by cell Po and giddy gets it to go and the nice stroke that coming
In along for Josh giddy Murray with a bounce pass that’s good from Porter on the assist by Murray Murray’s got four assists in the game now a timeout called by Oklahoma City and he could tell his guys were dragging a little bit calling time out kind of let him catch
Their bre all right chance to take a look at some stat for M he had a strong showing last season he’s averaged 20 points a game six assists and four rebounds and you love how he facilitates her offense just terrific decision maker so many times it’s with the extra pass
And man he’s delivering it wouldn’t surprise me to see him find his touch and still be Factor don’t count them out yet and that’s a great idea just throw the L anywhere and let Porter go get it trailing by 19 and here is gilis Alexander he’s got
20 Williams passes to Dort over quter Dort misses you know what he’s just stone cold right now really not sure if he’s their best option offensively as they try to get back in this game aldwell Pope kicks the qu Mur outside six to shoot it’s rebounded by
Giddy giddy’s got his fifth Rebound in this one passes to gild Alexander from outside the AR oh through the foul and almost hit the three-point bucket and he’ll go to the line to shoot three gilis Alexander does a good job of staying a aggressive and that just forces the defense to do something
Reot and he’s good on the first of three no good on the second free throw Miss and he nailed the [Applause] third and so is Murray with it he brings it up with the Nuggets earlier they held 23-point lead to the middle here’s yic and the rejection by
HR gidy the pass to gilis Alexander KN to Giddy over Gordon and he knocks down the jumper giddy’s got 10 points that’s a confident shot from The Young guard giddy love seeing him be assertive time called here nuggets decide to talk it over jackon he’s checked in for Michael
Porter and taking a look at some stats here for Caldwell Pope some last season stats for him and he ended up in the top 15 in steals as well some of the quickest hands in the league and who could defend him last season out there
The fers tried to PO up play a little physical but time and time again he drilled the three anyway wait wait a minut Jin has got some vertical two wow D against calwell po dorts to gilis Alexander over Murray and a great move by G Alexander gilis Alexander’s got 24
And obviously his momentum from the last game has carried over here tonight and the coach pretty smart for zoning in on him and giving him opportunities to stay with that confident play and that one’s good joic and they’re beginning to just flat out fall apart defensively right now especially on the
Interior here’s gilg Alexander and the shot goes down gilg Alexander’s got nine points here in M second half that basket must be widening out right now he’s making almost every shot he he’s bring up this quarter with the fadea away and Gordon gets it to go in on the assist by
Joic joic has got his seventh assist here tonight pass toen here’s gilis Alexander and there’s another one for the Thunder oh nice job there from his guys appreciate when they’re open he gets them the ball well pop on the wing watch a pass to joic Gordon deciding where to go with it
Shot clock at six yic High po down by Williams under trailing by 15 and here we are watching Jaylen Williams there’s a certain calm to his game isn’t there yeah he’s comfortable because he really can do a lot of things on the floor so there’s nothing that’s going to really
Shut him down it’s very hard to speed this guy up he gets an opportunity to play his Pace that’s a gift now here’s coell pop after Lou Dort Smith here’s joic and he finishes ni on the L joic is at eight here on the quarter and taking
A quick look here at the hle stats for Denver they made a point to protect the rim challenging shots all game long and the block total is off the chart the other part about tonight you got to give credit to coaching staff they came in here with a great game plan defensively
Locked in they were ready for the sets they jumped in passing Lanes they came away with steals I mean they anticipated just about every really excellent defense there they know he’s capable of knocking it down from the outside and they could not have played him better
Pass toen takes a free and a great assist by G Alexander as that one goes in Gil Alexander’s got four assists in the game he could tell his guys starting to wear down a little bit call time to just let them get their legs back on and the Thunder making a switch here
Williams is checked [Applause] in courtesy of the 2K leaderboard here’s a peek at the League’s top scores from a season ago fourth shade G Alexander and looking back his points per game really underscore the fact that he never took a game off I mean one special performance after another all season
Long Watson the pass to Brown so nice ball Movement by the Nuggets alwell P with a screen from ER and hren pulls it down hr’s got six rebounds here tonight shoots get no good the Nuggets lead by 14 Watson the pass to M passes it to Brown lets the fre fly
It’ss the three fall Brown’s got six yeah sometimes there’s passes and then there’s Precision passes muray with one of those there giddy finds dord outside gilis Alexander close one and it’s an ey and pushing it up here’s Denver here’s Brown and oh boy a lot of contact there but he
Gets the call in will two that one on Dort first one Falls for Wiggins is checked in for the Wallace comes in for Josh Giddy and Denver with a change here too Jackson he’s checked in for cavius cwell pop makes one of two as the second one misses thund trailing by [Applause]
18 now here’s good Alexander and he has 208 points for the game Murray dises to Jackson [Applause] BR that’s good and it’s Jackson with the assist that time Browns got seven now in this quarter Gil just Alexander against M here’s Wiggins and the bucket is good three-point play chance here for him and
Not lying at all on the three points shot they may want to rethink about stretching the defense a bit like they did in that first half and this is his first trip to the line tonight and last season’s numbers show him at about an 83% clip Which is far better than
Most bu it’s leading by 18 to the paint here’s Jordan and the D by Jordan yeah really good job by Reggie Jackson finding the shooter and beating him Oklahoma City has gone into the three-point range four times in halftime and buried two of them Wallace outside the kick out to
Williams the Thunder another three that’s pretty much not how they wanted to end the three-point line somebody’s got to Shadow him out there hey right there and the pass to Watson here’s Brown here’s Murray and the rejection by hren with it he’s picked up by Jordan here’s Gil aler and Jordan sends it
Back Brown the pass to Murray kick it to Jackson here’s Brown he’s guarded by Wills good on the bucket and not quite as aggressive from outside as they were in the first half sticking to the high percentage shot playing smart with the lead hren can’t hit the Nuggets leading by
19 pass to Jordan shoots over hren theer pull it in and after this one home against Minnesota that’ll be the second game of five-game Home stand offensive rebound Williams somehow misses the one-handed flush Denver shooting at 52% from the field they’re cing Jackson with it he’s
Picked up by hren a nice shot by Brown bottom line you need Shooters on your team who can space the floor oh there’s no doubt he’s a legitimate threat from downtown and he’s demonstrating that in this game G is Alexander with it hren with a screen on Murray you
Can’t just stop when there’s a pick up got toight over it as a Defender that’s one that the coaches will watch tomorrow with that there you hate to see him give up in that situation joic firing on all cylinders for Denver he notched eight points in the quarter and has that
Terrific basketball Instinct on display we take a quick break and then back to the action here and there may now be a lot of drama down the stretch as we head into the fourth quarter but stranger things have happened Thunder trailing by 20 we’ve got shade gilis Alexander wigg
Is out there with Williams then it’s Williams and it’s Wallace in at the shooting guard position after the lineup in the game for Oklahoma City offt Target for three-point range and so it’s joic with the ball he brings it for Denver to the inside Naji no good Thunder shooting has
Been a little ragged as 38% from the FI just Alexander that a two-pointer there’s Williams and terrific work on the offensive glass and he picks up two Williams has got the fourth quarter started here with a bucket for the Thunder Jackson against JIS Alexander Jackson passes to
Joic come on and now let’s take a look again at that incredible rejection quick thinking pays off big what a block here’s Brown and the three ball is good Browns got 15 points here in the second half not a shot the coaches are going to draw up often for him and he
Makes it with the defense closing in Wallace the pass to Williams Oh and the jam by Williams what elevation he’s a smaller but still determined big man and he likes mixing it up with his impressive inside yic and yic throws it down and you could argue joic is up
There for the best player in the Western Conference the stats sure accompany that outside [Applause] Williams a little over a minute and a half of the fourth quarter gone now down low KES into the teeth of the and converts the way out now catching the lead pass at full speed terrific
Anticipation and the delivery on time on target here’s nji passes it to joic Fires for three and it’s sh gilis Alexander with the rebound pass to WS Williams set a screen for Wallace outside Williams he kicks it to W and two throws coming up unable to get
That one to go with all the [Applause] contact take a break take a break Two Shots first free throw is good Williams he’s checked in for kenrich Williams canus Codwell pop he’s checked in for the Nuggets both shots good from the strike Denver leading by 17 poic with a screen guilis
Alexander basket is good he’ll get a chance for one with the line pretty fundamentally sound and bcas does a great job of keeping his balance there after contact [Applause] and that one misses under trailing by 19 left side Williams goes up from top of the key and there’s Alexander that’s
Good on the assist by Williams he makes it look effortless out there until the defense actually presents a challenge for him expect those kind of results here’s joic the shot misses excellent D there from [Applause] Williams Higgins outside cwell pop against Wallace and here’s gilis out sander outside trains
The three-pointer gilis Alexander’s got five points now quarter leading by 14 High post to the p and taken away by Wallace and Williams with the clear path of the hoop and a wide open look for GIS Alexander that three off the cold will poke with it and it’s Wallace picking
Him and The Bu tied UPS will have a jump [Applause] B here’s Jackson pass to joic inside Wiggins with the block now Giles Alexander outside Williams hes from Deep the shots good gilis Alexander making the play oh a solid facilitator helps that the defense thinks that sh just
Alexander is going to shoot not pass that’s a two-point and again Denver no good be brailing by 11 here’s Williams and a miss there with a chance to cut the lead to single digits over in the corner called the Nugget with another Miss Fender got into a pretty good Groove
Going six and 10 here in the fin quarter Alexander with ited Now by Jack and he makes that one not getting old here seeing him make that leak pass the perfect timing Enver calls time up for Thunder home’s checked in for Williams Dort comes in for Wiggins and
Josh gidy in for walls and while we’ve got moment I’d send it over to our terrific reporter David Al David well Kevin I was able to listen in on what Denver’s coach was going over with his team he told him it’s all about maintaining the lead told him he knows
It’s easy to get comfortable when you’re in this position but that they need to keep the pressure on guys thank you David Jackson ex Giles Alexander Williams with the block and here is G Alexander door the screen Jackson here’s G Alexander and contact on the shot so he’ll be shooting free throws
Here he gets really smooth sometimes gilis Alexander has some size and he challenged the defense with it that time and Greg while the commissioner might not like player trade request Durant said it’s great for the league for players to have that leverage where do you stand well I wouldn’t go that far
The is trying to keep those requests in house otherwise it can be deflating for fans a different look Aaron Gordon he’s checking in for Christian Brown and it’s Jamal Murray in for Reggie Jackson and so he hits both a great player on a great role at the charity
Right the he has got to be careful about being too aggressive on him and sending him back for freebies will joic and he could not get that one to go out of contact and he’ll go to the longine for two one on hren yic doing a better job
There of using his body inside and getting angled then finds way to the line [Applause] the first one Falls and yogic drops him both from trailing by nine now here’s G Alexander Dort with a screen for gilis Alexander C at one for dor terrific body control from D setting a firm kick and

Alexander ref finds joic and he fouled pretty hard on that shot but he’s got the chance to pick up the points at the line we’ve had this new playoff format since 2021 adding that play in tournament how do you like it well I love it you’re just giving
More highlevel teams a chance at a swing for Championship I mean look what happened last year and how exciting that was for the NBA and the playin tournament and that one misses and he’s good on the second time called here the Thunder decide to talk it over they’re trailing by 17
There’s 117 left play in the final [Applause] quarter and now let’s take a look at the New Balance player of the game NOA yic and guys he’s in about as close Perfection as you can be the intensity he’s played with has been amazing just
No let up and as fired up as he’s been he’s never let his emotions get out of control well to come in here facing a hostile crowd and have a game like he’s had that’s what separates the good players from the great players there’s 117 left in the fourth quter W
And a lot of contact on that one so he’ll shoot two here and with the new ca Greg free agent conversations can start basically the day the NBA Finals conclude do you like that move I I think it’s good to have rules that teams will actually follow in the past it was July
1st and let’s be honest teams were talking to players well before that free throw good Wallace and the Thunder making a switch here Joe’s checked in got this B it two free throws 114 left in the fourth quarter and so just rolling to the finish line now and has been a very confident
Looking perance for the nuggets in the end they had a better shooting percentage and that made the difference sometimes you know things go your way the other team wasn’t catching many lucky breaks themselves yeah and Kevin not all about luck I thought their overall shot selection was better and
It’ll go down as their first official win of the new year and one of the League’s top talent game in and game out and doing it here again in this one a terrific night for joic well a consistent intensity is what he brought to the floor here he hit the glass hard
And he came up with a ton of rebounds now here’s Gordon here’s the three they get it back and jic gets it to go and the Nuggets lead by 20 but the truth is they had control of this game yeah it looks like a veteran team tonight getting out on the road playing
Assertiveness confidence fully in control for this win here’s Williams Joe trins it from Beyond the AR there’s 14 seconds left to play here in the fourth get Murray here’s Murray and so it’s Denver taking care of business in this this one was over well before the final buzzer the fans were
Waiting for something to get excited about Greg but they never got it they sure didn’t I mean they just rolled to this and they made it look really easy what an efficient performance at both ends and now we’ll go to David Aldridge who’s standing by with our player of the
Game take it away David thanks very much Nia another great passing game for you what was the key thank you for that David and that’ll wrap it up folks so for Dave Aldridge Greg Anthony Brent Barry and the whole 2K sports crew this is Kevin harand thanking you for being
