A win is a win is a win, but thank goodness last night's game was against the NBA worst Sacramento Kings or else our ugly win would have likely been a blow out loss. OKC committed 24 turnovers in the game with half of those coming in the fourth quarter when the Thunder should have been putting away the Kings for good. On the positive side, Jeff Green returned last night and helped lead the way with 22 points. Oklahoma City didn't shoot that well from the field but had a near perfect night from the line (22 of 23).
Which brings us to tonight where the Thunder travel to Denver to take on the Nuggets. The Nuggets are in the midst of a collapse losing three straight (including one to the lowly Kings) and 8 of their last 11. They've fallen from first to third in the Northwest Division and from second to seventh in the Western Conference.
The Nuggets have won both meeting of the teams so far this year with both games happening in Oklahoma City. Both games went down to the wire, and Carmelo Anthony hit the game winning shot in both games.
Look for another close game tonight as the Thunder look to continue their positive stretch and the Nuggets look to turn things around. I forecast an ending of perfect poetic ironic revenge with the Thunder leading by 2 and with a couple ticks left on the clock, Carmelo bricks the go ahead three and the Thunder leave Denver victorious.
