The Nuggets (46-22) have outscored opponents by an average of 11.3 points during their 12-game surge, tied for their longest since joining the NBA in 1976-77. Denver hasn't won 13 in a row since a franchise-record 15-game run in the ABA in 1969-70.

The Nuggets found themselves in trouble Monday before escaping with a 119-118 overtime win at Chicago. Bulls center Joakim Noah tapped in a shot from teammate Marco Belinelli with 1.7 seconds to go in OT, but referees reviewed video and disallowed the basket due to offensive goaltending.

Wilson Chandler matched a career high with 35 points off the bench and Andre Iguodala made what proved to be the game-winning 3-pointer with 7.1 seconds left in the extra session.

"I'm proud of the way we stayed strong," said coach George Karl, whose team led by as many as 10 points in the fourth quarter. "This was a difficult mental game because we let go of a lead in regulation where we should have won it."

The Nuggets figure to face an even tougher test against the Thunder (50-17), who have strung together 20 consecutive home wins over fellow Western Conference teams by an average of 17.0 points.

Oklahoma City has put up 112.0 per game in taking four of five from Denver at home, including a 117-97 victory Jan. 16. The Nuggets, though, have won the last two meetings, both on their own court.

After beating the Thunder 121-118 in overtime Jan. 20, Denver pulled out a 105-103 win March 1 thanks to Ty Lawson's jumper with 0.2 seconds left. Chandler shot 6 of 7 from 3-point range and finished with 35 points that night as the Nuggets' reserves outscored Oklahoma City's bench 71-11.

"That's a great asset to have," Thunder coach Scott Brooks said. "That's one of the strengths of their team. They're deep, they have a lot of good players that play, a lot of skill players."
