NBA matchups and Oklahoma City Thunder victory

Overview

On October 22, 2026, several NBA games were scheduled, including a matchup between the Denver Nuggets and the Oklahoma City Thunder at the Paycom Center, as well as a game between the Cleveland Cavaliers and the Philadelphia 76ers. In Philadelphia, the 76ers hosted the Cavaliers, who debuted a lineup featuring Donovan Mitchell and James Harden following Harden’s recent contract signing.

In the Oklahoma City matchup, the Thunder defeated the Nuggets 96-84 in their home opener. Jalen Williams led the Thunder with 21 points, while Chet Holmgren recorded 12 points and 17 rebounds. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander scored 17 points, marking the first time in 141 games that the reigning MVP failed to reach 20 points. Gilgeous-Alexander missed all seven of his shots in the first half, which was only the fourth time in 450 games with the Thunder that he went without a field goal in a half.

For the Nuggets, Aaron Gordon scored 20 points, while Nikola Jokic and DeMar DeRozan contributed 13 points each. Jokic struggled with efficiency, shooting 5-of-19 from the field. Although Denver held a 48-44 lead at halftime, Oklahoma City took control in the third quarter, aided by a defensive effort that forced 13 turnovers in that period alone, to secure the win.
