Thunder one game closer to the sweep

The Oklahoma City Thunder would struggle against the Denver Nuggets Saturday night, but they would come out on top and only needing one more game to complete the sweep of the Denver Nuggets.

The star of this game would be Serge Ibaka, a second year pro from Congo who led the NBA with blocks through out the regular season. He had a season high 198 blocks, and that would be atop the blocks board in the NBA.

Kevin Durant had 26 points, and Russell Westbrook would end up with 23 points. Durant would mention that it's not only about one or two guys to help you win, you need more from your teammates. That is exactly what Ibaka did for the Thunder Saturday night. Ibaka finished the night with a tieing career-high 22 points and career high 16 rebounds.

This would be the night that Arron Afflalo would return, but wouldn't do too much damage to help the Nuggets come out victorious.

Ibaka would mention in a interview that his theory is to work on his defense first and play that well, and the offense will come well with the confidence off of his defensive game.

There was a call that could had possibly been called in the closing seconds of the game when J.R. Smith got the ball and during the process of the shot was hit in the arm(according to Smith). A whistle didn't blow, but Smith argued the call against James Harden.
