Thunder squeak by Nuggets, 92-88 
Posted on July 6, 2012 at 10:16 PM.
(Oklahoma City, OK) Denver looked like they were content to just shoot threes and did not make a shot until six minutes remaining in the first quarter. Durant and Westbrook were flawless early making almost everything. The 2nd quarter was a completely different story with the Thunder cooling off shooting and Denver settling down and hitting shots. Ty Lawson had 12 points and 7 rebounds at the half for the Nuggets. Westbrook had 14 points for the Thunder. The Thunder bench didn’t provide too much, but kept the lead for a little while.
Half of the second and all of the third quarter belonged to the Nuggets. The Thunder found themselves down by as much as thirteen points with 9:20 remaining. “Coach just kept telling us just to take it one possession at a time. Get stops and get a good shot. We weren’t communicating on defense. Guys weren’t blocking out. We blew a double digit lead and were on the verge of getting blown out,” Kevin Durant tells reporters. Somehow they pulled it together sparked by a Von Jenkins block on Timofey Mozgov. “These are character building wins, but we also have so much to improve on in every aspect of the game, offensive and especially defense,” Coach Scott Brooks shared with ESPN’s Stephen A. Smith. Thunder pick up the win, 92-88 and improve their record, 9-1.
