After Denver lost to OKC 92–87, Adelman referred to the game as a "really disgusting basketball game," per Romi Bean of CBS News Colorado. Though the Nuggets held the lead for a good chunk of the second half, that didn't take away from what was a heavily flawed performance from both teams.

Nikola Jokic, who finished Sunday's loss with a game-high 27 points on 7-of-22 shooting, 13 rebounds, three assists, four steals and two triples, spoke to reporters after the game to try and shed light on this deflating defeat.

For those who keep track of such things, the Nuggets shot 9-for-44 from the field and 1-for-25 from 3 in the first and fourth quarters.
