DENVER — A historically poor first quarter for the Denver Nuggets proved too much to overcome.
The Nuggets managed just eight points in the first quarter on Sunday against the Oklahoma City Thunder in an opening stanza that saw both team limp out of the gates. Denver eventually found its offensive rhythm and managed to take a third-quarter lead. But the dismal early output ultimately doomed Denver as the Thunder secured a 92-87 Game 4 win.
The Nuggets rallied for their first lead of the game in the third quarter and held a 73-66 edge early in the fourth.
