Nikola Jokić had 42 points and 22 rebounds, and Aaron Gordon has achieved a three pointer in the last seconds to achieve a breathtaking comeback victory of 121-119 against Oklahoma City Thunder on Monday evening.

The top seeds, which came out of timeouts, missed despair when the time in game 1 of their semi-final series of the Western Conference has expired.

Denvers Russell Westbrook, who started his career with The Thunder, supported Gordon's game winners. It was his first playoff game in Oklahoma City as an opposing player.

Gordon ended with 22 points and 14 rebounds. Jamal Murray added 21 points for the fourth nuggets that had stolen the start after completing a seven-game series against the Los Angeles Clippers on Saturday. Denvers came after Chet Holmgren missed two free throws from Oklahoma City, with the thunder with one point.

Shai Gilgeous-Aalexander had 33 points, 10 rebounds and eight templates for the thunder that hadn't played in the first round in the first round after he inaugurated the Memphis Grizzlies. Alex Caruso added 20 points, six templates and five steals.

Jokić recorded three fouls during a two -minute route in the third quarter after he had only committed a foul in the first half. He stayed in the game with the thunder, which led 73-64. The nuggets closed the gap to 90-85 by the end of the third quarter.

With the thunder, which led 104-95 and remaining for almost seven minutes, Jokić Lu put Lu in his head there on a trip and the piece was checked. The play was ruled on Jokić as a flagrant 1 – his fifth foul – and there did two free throws.

Denver spent the rest of the game closing the gap.
