Shai Gilgeous-Alexander scores 25 points and leads the thunder to Denver 92-87 to bind series 2-2

Denver (AP) – Oklahoma City Thunder defeated the Denver Nuggets in their own game on Sunday.

The youngest team in the NBA made all the clutch games in the Crunch period against an experienced squad who bumped into a family tree of the championship and won the second round with a 92-87 victory in game 4.

Shai Gilgeous-Aalexander scored nine of his 25 points in the fourth quarter and moved against a 3-1 deficit against a Denver team that was known for closing games, while he won six of his last seven playoff series and the two close games earlier in this series, which will be resumed in Oklahoma City on Tuesday evening.

About 36 hours after one exhausting overtime game 3 Friday evening the tip produced an ugly first half for early Mother's Day in which A were created Combined 25 points In the first quarter and ended with OKC during the break at 42-36.

“With an early game today, today we intended to use our depths today and to get everyone up to run,” said Thunder coach Mark Daignault.

After eight points at the beginning of the fourth quarter, the thunder used a 11-0 run from reserves Cason Wallace, which had a few 3-hand, and Aaron Wiggins, who was added to another to have control.

Wallace's second 3 pointer put Oklahoma City in the lead at 75-73.

“I really thought that the difference in the game was your bank a kind of security for her,” said Nugget's interim coach David Adelman. “You made 3s … pretty incredible in a game in which the two teams shoot 21 out of 86 out of the 3rd.”

Denver seemed ready to bring the top team in the west to the height of the excretion when Aaron Gordon's turnaround jumper reached 73-66.

This time, however, it was the thunder that on the track and the nuggets that fed the chance to put OKC into a 3-1 hole. Denvers many late mistakes included an important inlet and output injuries with five seconds.

Nikola Jokic had 27 points and 13 rebounds, but his three templates were low for this playoff run and gave him 22 templates to make 23 sales in this second round series.

Jokic said he never thinks of fatigue, so he had nothing or anyone for Denvers 31% of the shooting clamp and 34 missed 3S. And Adelman wouldn't go so far that the NBA is wrong with the early indication.

“I don't want to say that,” said Adelman. “I will say that both teams were very tired in the late Friday evening to have an incredibly physical overtime battle. … I mean, both had a great tired legs, so it was about who would do this last run.”

Not his team, not this time.

“We fought. We stayed the course,” said Gilgeous-Alexander: “… and then we closed the game.”

The thunder just doesn't have the PLAYOFF-TAMMBAR!

“Every time you take strikes and get up again, you will become stronger,” he said. “We preach that to our team. We recently lost a difficult night in the extension. We got up again today.”
