Game Recap
Denver's third quarter—a 65-point explosion that broke the game wide open—proved the difference in a 127–107 victory over Oklahoma City, as the Nuggets pushed the combined total to 234 and sent bettors holding the over (market 231.5) to cash.
The first half moved methodically, with just 110 combined points across two quarters. Oklahoma City kept pace early—Q1 saw 61 combined points, with Denver leading 34–27—but Denver's offense found rhythm in the second half. The third quarter ignited the scoreboard: Denver's 31 points and Oklahoma City's 34 combined for 65, the game's highest-scoring frame. That surge proved decisive. Denver held sway in the fourth quarter as well, scoring 37 to Oklahoma City's 22, extending the margin decisively. The second half totaled 124 combined points—14 more than the first half—and Denver's defense suffocated Oklahoma City down the stretch.
Branden Carlson led Oklahoma City with 23 points, 12 rebounds, and 5 assists, while Kenrich Williams added 15 points and 12 rebounds. For Denver, Jonas Valanciunas dominated the glass with 17 rebounds and 23 points, and Julian Strawther chipped in 22 points to fuel the home run. David Roddy contributed 21 points off the bench. This marked Denver's strongest offensive showing in recent matchups—the teams had split their season series with totals of 248 and 255. DAGGER's pregame lean toward the over cashed at 234, while a live call during the game came up short.
