NBA roundup: Thunder emerge with scrappy OT win over Nuggets

Chet Holmgren produced 15 points and a career-high 21 rebounds and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander scored 36 points in his return from injury, lifting the Oklahoma City Thunder to a 127-121 victory over the visiting Denver Nuggets on Friday.

Gilgeous-Alexander, playing his first game since sustaining an abdominal strain on Feb. 3, helped the Thunder dig out of an early 16-point deficit.

In overtime, though, Gilgeous-Alexander remained on the bench. It didn't matter, as Alex Caruso continued his strong play from the end of regulation.
