Nikola Jokic fought to shoot and Denver lost the war of 18-5 attack rebounds, but Nuggets won the game 3 in front of Oklahoma City, and had the opportunity to command the Sunday in the afternoon Western Conference semi-final series.
Nuggets’ 113-104 overtime wins went ahead 2-1 in the series on Friday night and will host Game 4 in Denver.
Thunder experienced this situation last year in the playoffs – the second round of the seed number 1 down and on the road – and six matches fell to Dallas. On Sunday, Oklahoma City will have a sense of helplessness where Game 2 has won 43 points.
Thunder in this series, a plus 32, but lost two of the first three games, and the losses were similar-a lack of execution that allows an exclusive Denver team to escape while relying on the championship experience.
Oklahoma City star and potential MVP Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, in the fourth quarter of the field 1 to 1 when 1 to 1 score and only three points for overtime did not try field goals.
Gilgeous-Alexander, “The game is slowing down, execution is more important. When the game slows down, usually the best players to shoot and play games.” He said. “I did not do a good job that is good enough.”
Despite his mockery movements from Nuggets fans, the game will not go to 4.
“Nothing was written,” he said. “The series is not over.”
His teammates did not lose confidence.
Alex Caruso, “Obviously we did not win the championship as they have. But on the way we had games close to great teams and won.” He said.
Nuggets did this in two of the first three games, although Thunder Jokic disappointed. The game made a foul from 2, missed 10 of the 3 -point trials on Friday night and was 25 to 8 years old.
During the overtime period, he tried both shots, but at the end of the fourth quarter, he missed a potential game winner.
Oklahoma City confused her defenses in MVP three times, bottled her into the paint and forced it to the environment. Jokic dealt with almost every situation in his career, but he didn’t solve Thunder’s defense.
Orum I don’t know what they’re doing, Thunder Thunder’s defense said. “Because if I knew, I will probably not have such mistakes. So I have to understand what they’re doing.”
Aaron Gordon’s last minute of the arrangement to save 3-pointer binding and Denver to save up to 21 points deep to 6 Michael Porter Jr.’s return game.
Porter’s game was largely inconsistent with a sprained left shoulder during the games. In the patient joint, he said he had injected a lidocaine injection that needed up to six weeks to normally heal. He said that the missing time is not an option.
Im I knew I didn’t do that, Port Porter said.
