Denver triumphed with over 30 points difference in Holmgren's 1st regular-season home match.

Nikola Jokic notched 28 points and grabbed 14 boards to secure his organization’s victory against the Oklahoma City Thunder 128-95 at Paycom Center in Oklahoma City, OK, as that was the Nuggets 3rd consecutive triumph to open the campaign.

Michael Porter Jr. scored 20 points and grabbed 9 boards, and Jamal Murray added 19 points and 8 assists for Denver, who shot over 60% from the field.

Thunder’s Chet Holmgren was the 2nd selection at the 2022 NBA Draft, but he missed last campaign with a foot problem. He began from the 1st minute on the court in his 1st regular-campaign home match and finished with an organization-leading 19 points.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, a 1st-team All-NBA pick last campaign, finished with just 7 points with 2 successful shots from 16 tries.

Denver will welcome the Utah Jazz on Monday, while Oklahoma will play another match at their venue against the Detroit Pistons on the same day.
