Shai Gilgeous-Alexander drains game-winning shot as Thunder knock off Nuggets in Denver

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 18:23:49 GMT

Nobody will be too upset if these two teams play again in a week or two.Shai Gilgeous-Alexander drained a cold-blooded jumper with 0.9 seconds remaining to give Oklahoma City its first lead since the first quarter, and the Nuggets didn’t get a shot off on the ensuing inbound, resulting in a 118-117 loss to an on-the-rise Thunder squad Saturday night at Ball Arena.In a battle between two of the top three teams in the Western Conference standings, the Nuggets lost their second home game this season. They host the Mavericks on Monday.Nikola Jokic finished with 24 points and 12 assists. Michael Porter Jr. amassed 20 points and 11 rebounds. But Denver couldn’t protect an eight-point lead in the last four minutes.After facing Chet Holmgren for the first time in October, Jokic was left with the impression that the Thunder rookie center “needs to be a little bit fatter, to be honest.” Holmgren wasn’t the only player Denver dissected that day, but his struggle t...

Broncos four downs: Sean Payton might want to stop yelling at Russell Wilson and start screaming at himself

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 18:23:49 GMT

Initial thoughts from the Broncos’ loss to the Detroit Lions in Week 15 at Ford Field:1. Sean Payton needed to yell at himself: Did he rush the play? Did he change a call? The devil’s in the details, but Payton going Woody Hayes on Russell Wilson late in the third quarter was a weird rage flex. Especially after at least two potential touchdowns — and probably a third — weren’t challenged by the first-year Broncos coach in real time. Even Lions fans on social media couldn’t believe their football fortunes. Wilson was either shaken, hit or poor — No. 3 completed just four of his first 10 throws for 69 yards in the first half — early on, but Big Russ wasn’t the only reason the Orange & Blue laid a giant egg in Motown.2. Meinerz was … what?: See, now, this is how conspiracy theories get started. It was bad enough that Sean Payton was too busy screaming himself hoarse at Russell Wilson to notice, but we’re having a hard time processing ...

Road-weary Broncos turned to road kill in blowout, prime-time loss at Detroit

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 18:23:49 GMT

DETROIT — The Broncos hoped to prove themselves road warriors in the Motor City.Instead, road kill.Sean Payton’s team, playing its third straight December game away from home, ran out of gas in the first half Saturday night and watched the Lions roll on by, clear into the postseason.The Broncos have a lot of work to do in order to reach the same destination after a 42-17 loss here.They’re going to have to find offensive consistency, which has disappeared in recent weeks.They’re going to have to find better ways to combat speed, which the Lions flashed in spades.Put simply, they’re going to have to win their final three games from 7-7.That’s not impossible by any stretch of the imagination, considering they will come against teams with losing records, back-up quarterbacks and little to play for.But the margin for error is now reduced to zero.Jared Goff sliced the rest of it away with the same precision that he carved up the middle of the Broncos defense over and over and over o...
