On May 19, the last suspense of the NBA playoff semi-finals was revealed. The Thunder defeated the Nuggets 125-93 at home and successfully advanced to the Western Conference Finals 4-3. The game ended at 6 a.m. As the Thunder successfully advanced to the Western Conference Finals, the two major historical records in the NBA were refreshed, and a new champion team in the past 50 years will be born.
In this tiebreak battle, the Nuggets came first and took the lead and once gained an 11-point lead, but after that, they failed to continue the momentum. The Thunder made a concerted effort and continuously broke out of the offensive wave, and had already achieved a 14-point lead in the first half. In the second half, the Nuggets still could not recover their form. Alexander led the team to widen the gap. After the third quarter, he led by 25 points. In the final quarter, he directly established a leading advantage of more than 40 points, and lost the suspense early. In the end, the Thunder ended the suspense of the semi-finals with a 32-point victory.
In this way, the Thunder became the last team to advance to the division finals and will compete with the Timberwolves for the championship. After this game, it also refreshed the history of NBA 2. The Thunder's average age is only 25.2 years old, becoming the youngest team to advance to the Western Conference Finals. This team showed good fighting spirit in this playoffs, from sweeping the Grizzlies in the first round to eliminating the Nuggets in the semi-finals, they all received a lot of training.
Another record is that different teams will win championships for seven consecutive years, which is also a new history. The Nuggets won the NBA championship in 2023, but after that, they failed to maintain their original championship lineup. The departure of Brown and Pope also caused the team's lineup to decline, which is also the key to their elimination this season. In this playoffs, the Nuggets basically rotated 7 players, played 7 games in two consecutive rounds, and finally failed to withstand the tiebreak in the semi-finals.
In this way, a new champion team will be born this season. Among the four teams that advanced to the division finals, only the Knicks have won the championship, but it was already in 1973. In today's league structure, it is still very difficult to defend the title. This season's defending champion Celtics also face the possibility of reorganization this summer. It depends on whether the new champion team will be born in this playoffs, or whether the Knicks won the championship again after 52 years.
