The Denver Nuggets were able to tally an important win against a tough-nosed Oklahoma City team.

It’s nice to see the Denver Nuggets get their first recorded bubble win that actually counts for something. Denver was again without Will Barton, Jamal Murray and Gary Harris but the effort the brought during today’s game was completely different than Sunday’s game vs Miami.

The Nuggets battled throughout the entire game and notched an OT win with a score of 121-113. The intensity that was missing in Miami was clear and present against Oklahoma City and they needed every bit of it to be able to collect a win. The Nuggets showed out on both sides of the ball and were able to make plays when the moments called for it.

Everyone contributed but there were a few major standouts.
