NBA Playoff's snack: Nuggets defeated Thunder to force game 7 after the Flurry in the third quarter

by

With their back against the wall, the Denver Nuggets held the Oklahoma City Thunder 119-107 on Thursday evening to avoid excretion and force a game 7.

The thunder rose by 10 points by 10 points in the third quarter by 10 points. But the nuggets hit a flood of baskets to assemble the double -digit comeback. Oklahoma City then got cold in the last framework when the MVP leader Shai Gilgeous-Alexander fought against foul Powers.

Jamal Murray, who was questionable with an illness before the game on Thursday evening, wanted to have victory with 25 points, eight rebounds and seven assists. Nikola Jokić added 29 points, 14 rebounds and eight templates.

Christian Braun achieved a 23-point double double double double and Julian Strawwher was an X factor from the bank. The former Gonzaga guard scored 15 points, including two 3 points, so as not to end the third frame with Jokić.

Gilgeous-Alexander scored 32 points and six templates for the thunder. Chet Holmgren recorded 19 points and 11 rebounds.

Game 7 is Sunday in Oklahoma City, with a conference finale on the line.

Nuggets deserve critical calm after the star performance

For the first time in over two weeks, Denver will have more than one day in peace between the games. The Nuggets ran a large part of this series for vapors because they went seven games against the La Clipperers and got on a plane this Sunday and started the series against thunder this Monday.

“The boys saw themselves more free to have two days free than going to a game 7,” said Denver Interim head coach David Adelman.

That will be important. Aaron Gordon grabbed his thigh at the end of the fourth quarter of game 6. Adelman said the problem was “high”.

The nuggets also get some peace for Murray and Jokić. Denver knew that it had to win on Thursday evening, and the Nuggets could come up with this victory and give themselves an urgently needed break. – Tony Jones, NBA employee author

Donner fall flat on the line with a central chance

In game 6 with the golden opportunity to get to their first conference final for a decade, the thunder was flat.

On Thursday evening there were a variety of lead changes, but instead of Oklahoma City, which spanned its 68-grown muscles, it was Denver, who played with the necessary despair to extend their season and keep the dream of the series alive.

Jalen Williams, who fought again to be a constant second option, ended with only six points on 3-against-16 shootings, although they led all players to assists. At the other end, Murray was in constant attack mode. Williams cannot afford another game like this if thunder has realistic hopes to get to a conference final.

In six games it is clear that the nuggets have more offensive weapons. If Oklahoma City cannot keep up with the fire power on Sunday, it must be tactical in all phases of the gameplay to get ahead. – Kelly Iko, NBA Staff Writer
