Russell Westbrook led the Kings' comeback, scoring 15 of his 21 points in the fourth quarter against his former team. Dennis Schroder added 21 points, while Keegan Murray contributed 19 in his second game back from offseason surgery on his left thumb. DeMar DeRozan finished with 17 points, including a three-point play with 12 seconds remaining that sealed the outcome, followed by two free throws.

The three-time MVP tallied 44 points, including 19 in the fourth quarter, along with 13 rebounds and seven assists. Jamal Murray scored 23 points, and Cam Johnson added 20, but Denver could not hold an early advantage.
