Game Preview
The Oklahoma City Thunder are now on the road with a 3-2 lead in their Western Conference semifinal series against the Denver Nuggets. The Thunder rallied late in Tuesday’s 112-105 home win in Game 5.
Oklahoma City has not advanced to the conference finals since 2016 when a Kevin Durant-led team blew a 3-1 series lead and lost in seven games to the Golden State Warriors.
But that was nine years ago! The team has been consistently great with Shai Gilgeous-Alexander.
“We’re a better team today than we were at the beginning of the series,” Thunder coach Mark Daigneault said. “We’re definitely evolving and growing and learning.”
Denver’s three-time MVP, Nikola Jokic, recorded 44 points and 15 rebounds in Game 5. The Nuggets fell to 2-5 in playoff games where Jokic scores at least 40 points.
Jokic and Aaron Gordon combined to shoot 23-for-38 on Tuesday night, but the rest of the team was 17-for-59. Michael Porter Jr., playing with an injured left shoulder, was 1-for-7.
“We’ve played well enough to win the last two games,” Porter said. “A lot of the reason we lost is because I’m not helping contribute. And that’s tough. That’s really tough. … I haven’t been contributing in any way.”
Jamal Murray, who put up 13 points in the third quarter, was 1-for-6 in the fourth and his only field goal came with 17 seconds left. Jokic was 4-for-6 in the final 12 minutes. The rest of the team was 1-for-15.
According to ESPN’s Basketball Power Index, Oklahoma City has a 61.9% chance of defeating Denver in Game 6. OKC is 17-2 in its last 19 road games, while the Nuggets are 3-6 in their past nine games played in May.
