The Denver Nuggets had their worst performance of the preseason against their arch foe losing by 10.

The Denver Nuggets lost in Oklahoma City and looked like a shell of themselves compared to their last two games. If you didn’t find a way to watch it then you really did not miss much. The lack of ball control and the poor shooting combined to be the Nuggets worst preseason showing.

Steven Adams had his way in the interior, and Denver struggled to contain the Thunder’s role players. The Nuggets were also terrible from the field as both Barton and Murray put up less than impressive shooting percentages.

Along with not being able to keep the Thunder front court in check, Denver also posted only 13 points in the second quarter.

The entire team seemed to take 2 steps back whenever they took 1 step forward. The offense looked sloppy and the defense seemed disinterested in this game.

Enough of the basis of the game though, let’s take a look at 4 key takeaways from the game against our arch rival.
