The Oklahoma City Thunder<\/a> survived another thriller in a 129-126 win<\/a> over the Denver Nuggets<\/a> on Monday. Despite being short-handed, they bested their mostly-healthy arch-rival.<\/p>\n

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander was the headliner. He had 35 points and 15 assists. He tied Wilt Chamberlain’s record for most consecutive 20-point games at 126. He also made the game-winner. Jaylin Williams had 29 points and 12 rebounds. Ajay Mitchell finished with 24 points in his return.<\/p>\n
