Oklahoma City et Ajay Mitchell suffered their first defeat of the season in the NBA, the North American basketball league, by losing to Denver (124-122) on Wednesday.
After starting the season with seven victories in a row, the Thunder saw their good streak come to an end on the floor of the Nuggets. The fault in particular goes to Russell Westbrook (29 points) who recalled the good memories of the franchise where he played for eleven seasons but also to Nikola Jokic XXL (23 points, 20 rebounds, 16 assists). Jalen Williams (29 points) and Shai Gilgoeus-Alexander (28 points) tried to respond but could not avoid OKC’s first loss. Ajay Mitchell was entitled to a little over 9 minutes of play (9:11), compiling 3 points, 1 assist and 1 interception.
Oklahoma City now shares the lead in the Western Conference with Phoenix, who defeated Miami (115-112), and Golden State, which won 112-118 in Boston. With the Thunder’s defeat, Cleveland now remains the only team still undefeated in the NBA. The Cavaliers won a ninth victory in New Orleans (122-131) to take the lead in the Eastern Conference ahead of Boston.
Behind, Indiana joined Brooklyn in 3rd place after its 118-111 victory against Orlando. Atlanta climbed to 5th place by beating New York (121-116) with 33 points from Zaccahrie Risacher, first choice in the last draft. In the other matches of the evening, Charlotte beat Detroit (108-107), Houston easily dismissed San Antonio (127-100) and Memphis and Dallas did the same against the Los Angeles Lakers (131-114) and Chicago ( 119-99). The Los Angeles Clippers took over Philadelphia (110-98) and Sacramento won against Toronto (122-107).
