OKC Thunder vs Denver Nuggets View

This marks the first time that any of the teams has brought two consecutive wins in this series. OKC retired from two -digit deficits at Games 4 and 5: a testimony to its growth and ability to execute an experienced squad as Denver in times of crisis, especially after late in Games 1 and 3.

In Game 5, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander was the engine with 31 points, seven dimensions and six boards, scored by moments of clutch of both him and Jalen Williams, not to mention Lu Dort, who demolished some 3s without fear.

Despite a huge performance by Nikola Jokic, which ended with 44 points, 15 rebounds and five assists, and a 28 -point show Jamal MurrayThe nuggets could not end strong.

Denver attempted 15 more than OKC, but it ruined in the fourth quarter. Outside of Jokic (which marked 13 in the final setting), the rest of the team spent only 1 of 15 in the last 12 minutes.

Playing at home, nuggets need more coherence through the table. Michael Porter Jr. It was almost a ghost, managing only two points in a shot of 1 of 7, while Russell Westbrook encrypted in just four points.

Game 6 will be reduced to execution. The thunder has the impetus and begin to rediscover the pace that brought them during the regular season.

In order for the OKC to maintain the advantage, it will have to start quickly, to keep it decisive, to defend it urgently and to dictate the physical pace. For Denver, it is about squeezing the security of the ball, mastering the boards and going to set up another huge night since Joke.
