The Oklahoma City Thunder lost their four-game winning streak in a defeat handed to them by the Denver Nuggets on Thursday, 122-110.
Despite the loss, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander continues to play like one of the best players in the league this season as he finished with 37 points on an efficient 13-of-17 shooting that included going 11-of-11 from the free-throw line.
Two-time MVP Nikola Jokic made history by passing Wilt Chamberlain for most triple-doubles by a center with 15 points, 14 assists and 13 rebounds. Jokic now has 79 career triple-doubles.
