Denver Run Over Oklahoma City
In the night’s other game, Randy Foye poured in a season-high 24 points and point guard Ty Lawson added 16 points, 14 assists and seven rebounds, as the Denver Nuggets beat the Oklahoma City Thunder, 101-88.
“I think it’s from my preparation, just understanding that every single day, no matter if I make six 3s in a game or seven, that I have to come in the next day and be ready to work,” said Foye.
“You put yourself in situations, if you work and do the right things, so that when you get in a game, nothing is foreign to you.”
Evan Fournier had 19 points off the bench, Kenneth Faried finished with 14 rebounds and J.J. Hickson 12, for Denver (18-17) which picked up their fourth win in a row.
Kevin Durant scored 30 points, Reggie Jackson had 13 and Derek Fisher finished with 12 for Oklahoma City (27-9).
“Tonight, we didn’t get a lot of good looks offensively and we didn’t move the ball well enough,” OKC Thunder coach Scott Brooks said. “We took a lot of tough shots and our timing wasn’t where it needs to be and we missed a lot of 3s.
“Everything that happened tonight is correctable, which is good. It’s not that we had issues. The fact is, everything that we did wrong tonight we can go back and get better.”
