The Oklahoma City Thunder suffered a shocker in a 121-119 Game 1 loss to the Denver Nuggets on Monday. They start their Round 2 series in a 0-1 series deficit.
After Chet Holmgren missed two free throws, Russell Westbrook found Aaron Gordon in the final seconds to score the game-winning 3-pointer. It was his second playoff game-winner already. After the Thunder led for most of the second half, playing with fire finally burned them.
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander had a near 33-point triple-double. Alex Caruso contributed 20 points and five steals off the bench.
