Episode Details

The Denver Nuggets suffered another heartbreaking loss, this time to the Oklahoma City Thunder, falling 127-121 in overtime. Despite leading by nine at halftime and six in the fourth quarter, the Nuggets crumbled late. Backup center Jonas Valanciunas struggled defensively, particularly in the fourth quarter, allowing Thunder guards to get open looks and easy shots. Valanciunas poor defense, with the worst defensive rating on the team, has become a glaring issue. Fans and analysts are growing frustrated with these clutch collapses, and Coach Michael Malone may need to consider a different backup for Nikola Jokic to improve the teams defense and chances of a deep playoff run.
