Episode Details

The Oklahoma City Thunder intentionally lost to the Denver Nuggets, securing a top seed in the Western Conference playoffs and avoiding a potential matchup with Denver or the Spurs until the Western Conference Finals. The game was played with bench-heavy rotations, making it sloppy but entertaining. Nikola Topic, a 20-year-old guard back from injuries, started and scored 14 points and 11 assists, though he also had 8 turnovers. Branden Carlson led OKC with 23 points and 12 rebounds, while Jonas Valanciunas led Denver with 23 points and 17 rebounds. Both teams had six players score in double figures, providing valuable playing time for end-of-bench players before the playoffs.
