Peyton Watson made a crucial block against Shai Gilgeous-Alexander in the final seconds, securing a 124-122 victory for the Denver Nuggets over the Oklahoma City Thunder. This moment was particularly significant for Watson, who had previously been on the receiving end of a game-winning shot by Gilgeous-Alexander last December.
Despite missing two free throws earlier in the game, Watson's determination shone through as he contributed six points in the fourth quarter and helped the Nuggets overcome a 16-point deficit. Coach Michael Malone praised Watson for his resilience and ability to bounce back.
