Jokic finishes with 61 points, 11 rebounds, 10 assists

With Denver leading 139-138 in the second OT, Westbrook missed a layup attempt with 9 seconds remaining when he could have dribbled out the clock, and then fouled Nickeil Alexander-Walker as he shot a 3-pointer at the buzzer, and Alexander-Walker made his first two FT and missed the 3rd intentionally to give Minnesota a 140-139 win.

We basically cannot stop Giannis at all. He's just charging to the basket over and over.

Feels familiar.

Yeah that was a really bad and costly couple of plays from Westbrook

Well, I'm not mad about this one. Suns gave it a good effort short handed. The start, as usual, didn't do them any favors but they competed to the end. Gillespie has been great. Book had a big game. I'm looking forward to retooling around him and I hope we can get at least half of what we gave up for Durant. Really tough to beat the Bucks when Giannis is not only making his free throws, but hitting three pointers.

IMO a game like this gives me all the more confidence that we can trade KD and we'll be fine (for some definition of the word "fine"). Yes, the game was heavily tilted toward Booker in terms of scoring, and we'd miss KD's offense. But he doesn't contribute enough to actual W/L record; we can play just fine with or without him. So it's much more valuable to cash him out and get the picks and youngs and cap space we will need going forward, rather than staying tethered to a 37-year-old scorer.

Most points ever with a triple-double.

Lost the game so it doesn’t count

He can thank Mr. Russell Westbrook for that.
