Nuggets Vs. Thunder Score: Bench Provides Spark, Denver Cuts Lead

The Denver Nuggets trailed by 26 (!) points early on, but were able to pull within 12 points of the Oklahoma City Thunder before hitting the locker room down 59-44. The biggest boosts came from Raymond Felton's nine points and Al Harrington, who entered late in the first and played the entire second, hitting four of his six attempts to score 10 points and dish a pair of assists.

For the home team, James Harden leads with 14 points, doing a good job of drawing free throws. He's shot and made six, with the rest of the team combining to shoot only 10. Serge Ibaka's already one board away from a double-double, Kevin Durant has 11 points and four boards and Russell Westbrook has nine points and five dimes.

Denver’s shooting has improved to a little over 37 percent.
