A war of attrition fittingly tilted in favor of the team with more rations.
Maybe it was inevitable, as the Nuggets and Thunder clanked 3-pointers, as fatigue infected their shooting forms, that fresher legs would prevail. Sure enough, 36 hours after an exhausting overtime affair ended, the biggest difference between these teams illuminated itself as another grueling game spiraled toward the finish line.
Cason Wallace made a 3-pointer. Aaron Wiggins followed suit. Wallace drained another.
And the Thunder rode off into the Rocky Mountain sunset with a 92-87 win, powered by that 11-0 run.
