The Denver Nuggets defeated the Oklahoma City Thunder 111 - 105 Wednesday at Chesapeake Energy Arena . Wednesday 's battle ended up being a battle between a team that only played seven players and a team that was contempt with where they were before the start of the postseason . The Nuggets ( 40 - 42 ) were the former , and the difference in the matchup ended up simply being that Denver had Nikola Jokic and their counterparts did n't . Jokic topped off a breakout season with another tremendous all - around game , posting 29 points , 16 rebounds and eight assists in 40 minutes . The Nuggets ' other young star , Jamal Murray , also had a great game to close out a strong rookie campaign , scoring 27 points of his own in 41 minutes . In the end , it was Denver 's ability to get fouled and to the free throw line that ultimately led them to victory , as they got to the line 32 times and hit 26 of those attempts . As for the Thunder ( 47 - 35 ) , while four of their five regular starters were active , none of them ended up playing a full load of minutes . Most notably , Russell Westbrook played just 18 minutes , and in that time , he shot 2 - of - 10 from the field en route to scoring five points , but he did manage to dish out eight assists and grab five rebounds . Five Oklahoma City players scored in double figures , but the highest total ended up being just 13 points from both Taj Gibson and Jerami Grant . It was n't a game the Thunder were particularity interested in winning or losing , hence why all 13 active players saw the floor for at least 10 minutes despite the game being close down the stretch . The Thunder will now move onto their first - round playoff matchup against the No . 3 seeded Rockets .
