Gordon saves the team again! Nuggets narrowly beat the Thunder in overtime, Porter Jr. finally explodes
4:44am, 15 May 2025Basketball
NBA playoffs continue today, with the Denver Nuggets returning to home court to face the Oklahoma City Thunder.
This game is very intense, and the Nuggets have put in all their efforts to defeat the Thunder. The Nuggets have already won a victory in Oxford City with a decisive victory and have won the home advantage of the series. Of course, they don't want to return it just like that. After experiencing a 43-point defeat in the second game of the series, the Nuggets also found the key point of victory, that is, the wing.
The Nuggets' wings are a big gap. Michael Porter Jr. was trapped in a serious shoulder injury and performed very badly. He made 3 of 18 shots in the first two games of the series, which is really ugly.
But in this game, Porter Jr. performed well, and scored 15 points and 2 rebounds on 5 of 6 shots in the first half. His four three-pointers surprised the Thunder because his opponent did not prepare too much for his performance at all, and he still felt that he could easily control Porter Jr.
Potter Jr. opened this point, and Jokic's performance was not as bad as that. The Nuggets also made the Thunder fall into self-doubt. Alexander also performed sluggishly, and even lost two free throws at the free throw line.
In this way, Porter Jr. completely broke the balance between the Thunder and the Nuggets. The Nuggets had a wing offensive, and both Gordon and Braun improved their performance, so the two teams reached the last moment. Gordon once again stood up to save the team, and his three-pointer helped the Nuggets tie the 102-game and enter overtime. Porter Jr. in overtime was able to continue to score three-pointers, and Jokic finally woke up and started scoring. So the Nuggets widened the gap and defeated the Thunder 113-104, leading 2-1.
