Thunder whup Nuggets
Oklahoma City is first in the Northwest again, picking up its first win in the nationally televised road opener. Despite some lackluster offense (8-36 from three, round 2 deja vu), OKC's starters smothered the Nuggets' on the other end while the Thunder bench absolutely worked Denver's (sorry, Russ). Who knew a zero-point Alex Caruso debut could feel this good?

Both clean blocks instead of shooting fouls.
Coach in mid-season form.
