OKC Thunder ’s extraordinary start to the season was halted in its first setback at the hands of the Nuggets, falling short 122-124, courtesy of Peyton Watson’s block on a Shai Gilgeous-Alexander shot that could have tied the game. A big win for the Nuggets, who were without key players Jamal Murray and Aaron Gordon.

Westbrook has been starting in place of Jamal Murray (concussion) in recent games, and the veteran floor general turned back the clock in this one, delivering an impressive performance and filling out the stat sheet against his former team.
