Westbrook quickly calm down. If you make such a trouble, you will be sent home by you. Just today, on May 16, the sixth match between the Nuggets and the Thunder started at the Nuggets' home court. After halftime, the Nuggets fell behind by 3 points 58:61. In terms of data, Jokic scored 12 points with 4 of 7 shots, Murray scored 13 points with 4 of 5 shots, Westbrook made three mistakes with one of 3 shots, and handed over the ball in vain. On the Thunder, Alexander made 4 of 6 shots, but was substituted early for 4 fouls on his back, and Chet still scored 11 points in a stable output. There were two accidents in the first half recently, one happy and one sad, but the situation was not optimistic.
Jokic lost the jump ball at the beginning, but Murray quickly found the touch and scored continuously to drive the team. Murray scored 4 points with three-pointers and free throws, and Braun followed closely behind and made a beautiful dunk. The Nuggets have a lot of offensive firepower, and Murray made a mid-range jump shot and continued to expand the score. In the middle of
, Jokic finally exerted his strength at the low post, hit a hook, and the Nuggets' offensive rhythm began to smoothly. But the Thunder were not to be outdone through the counterattacks of Williams and Dortmund, and the score was tight. The key turning point came when more than 6 minutes left in the first quarter, the Nuggets launched a wave of offensive: Gordon made a three-pointer, then intercepted and assisted Braun to complete a dunk, expanding the score to 18-12. Thunder was forced to call for a pause. At the end of the quarter, the Nuggets rotated the team and Westbrook played but failed to continue the main players' hot state, missing multiple shots and made two mistakes. The Thunder seized the opportunity to narrow the gap. At the end of the first quarter, the Nuggets led 31-28, but the advantage had been eroded.
Beginning the second quarter, the Thunder replaced the new lineup, and the Nuggets' rotation lineup was caught off guard. Watson completed a fast break layup when he came up. Although Westbrook grabbed an offensive rebound and made a tip-in, the Nuggets' overall offense stagnated.
The Thunder's defense intensity has been significantly improved. Murray suffered two personal fouls and two mistakes in close guard, and the team's cooperation is not smooth. Braun made a mistake in passing, Wallace intercepted, and the Thunder made a small climax and quickly overturned the score.
Jokic and Porter returned to the court to try to stabilize the situation. Porter's mid-range shot gave the team a little breath, but then the Thunder's Holmgren scored consecutively, especially an all-match dunk to widen the score to 43-39, causing the Nuggets' team to mess up.
In the last 3 minutes, Braun made a three-pointer to relieve the pressure on the Nuggets, but the team's overall defense was weak. Homgren's three-pointer set the score at 58-49, and the Nuggets fell behind by 9 points at the end of the half.
Recently, there were two unexpected surprises in the first half, one happy and one sad, but the situation was not optimistic.
The first accident was that he originally thought Westbrook would avenge his previous shame in this game and perform steadily, but he did not expect that after halftime, he was hurting the team again. Throughout the first half, Westbrook made three mistakes after 6 minutes of playing. At the end of the first quarter, he actually wanted to try a dunk, but the ball was snatched away by his opponent and hit him against the counterattack. At the beginning of the second quarter, Westbrook had a three-pointer, but his foot was already outside the boundary and was ordered to start out of boundary, which once again caused the Nuggets to lose the ball. He made three fatal mistakes that shouldn't have been made in 6 minutes. I hope Westbrook can wake up in the second half, concentrate more, and stop making these low-level mistakes.
The second accident was that in the Thunder, Alexander actually made four fouls in half and was pressed on the bench with more than 2 minutes left in the second quarter. In order to protect him, the coach first let him go off the court and decided to successfully catch up to 6 points in this wave and expand the score. In the first half, it can be said that the referee's whistle was obviously favored by the Nuggets, and the referee at the Denver Plateau seemed to be trying to protect the team. In the tiebreak battle, when Alexander was called for a fourth foul, Braun also grabbed his jersey with his hand. Both of them had foul actions, but the referee only blew up SGA. In the next round, Jaylen Williams accidentally swung his elbow to Murray's face. Murray fell to the ground, and the referee once again awarded a Thunder offensive foul. The fans at the scene shouted wildly for the referee's home whistle, while the Thunder had a bad face and felt indescribable. Seeing the referee helping so much, it is really unreasonable to not win this game.
