  "account": "Oklahoma City Thunder secured a 96-84 victory over the Denver Nuggets in their home opener, ending a 20-point streak for Shai Gilgeous-Alexander. After a sluggish first half with the Thunder down by 27 points, they staged a remarkable comeback in the second half. The Thunder's Jalen Williams led the way with 21 points and five rebounds, while Cason Wallace contributed 12 points and five steals off the bench. The Thunder's defense stifled Denver's offense, allowing only 38% shooting from the field and 26.7% from beyond the arc. Gilgeous-Alexander finished with 17 points on 19 shot attempts, as the Thunder secured a comfortable win despite a lackluster performance from several players.",
