Nuggets hold off Thunder in OT

Denver, CO (Sports Network) - Corey Brewer led the Nuggets with 26 points and Denver held on in overtime to take a 121-118 decision over the Oklahoma City Thunder on Sunday.

Kenneth Faried scored 16 points to go with 10 rebounds and his hook shot late in the extra session gave Denver the lead for good.

Danilo Gallinari scored 18, Wilson Chandler followed with 12 and Ty Lawson and Andre Miller each netted 11 for the Nuggets, who bounced back after a disappointing loss to the woeful Wizards on Friday.

Kevin Durant finished with 37 points, eight assists and seven rebounds, but missed a potential game-tying 3-pointer at the end of overtime.

Russell Westbrook sent the Thunder to an extra session with a long triple near the end of regulation. He tallied 36 points, nine assists and eight rebounds for Oklahoma City, which saw its six-game winning streak come to an end.
