The Nuggets-Thunder game Sunday night was very good. For the Thunder, it was pretty much the Kevin Durant/Russell Westbrook show featuring a triple-double from Serge Ibaka. The Thunder forced overtime against the Nuggets and won 124-118. KD scored a career-high 51 points on 19 of 28 shooting 5 of 6 on three’s. Westbrook dropped 40 points on 16 of 29 shooting and 3 of 6 on three’s. Serge Ibaka finished the game with 14 points, 15 rebounds, and 11 blocks (his first career triple-double).
KD, Westbrook, and Ibaka also made NBA history.
Here’s one for you. Tonight’s was the first-ever NBA game to feature 50 points+ (KD), 40+ (Russ) and a triple-double (Serge)

James Harden on the game (Via The Oklahoman):
“Unbelievable,” Harden said. “It was probably the best regular-season game I have played in since I’ve been here. Kevin had 50, Russell had 40 and Serge a triple-double. What else can you say? It doesn’t get any better than that.”
