Ge Deng scored a shocking three-pointer, and was so angry that he went away with the landlord Thunder

, who once helped the gold nuggets break through the first round with a fatal slam dunk, and the league leader Thunder, who faced 68 wins in the first game of the second round, became the savior again!

The whole game was almost in a situation where he was beaten, but he was about 10 points behind most of the time, especially 13 points in the fourth quarter. However, Nikola Jokic, the "strongest on the surface", took the lead in counterattack and kept hitting the Thunder defense. In addition, his opponent's scoring stagnated, the King Nuggets were only 1 point away from chasing before the end of the game.

Chet Holmgren failed two free throws under pressure, and finally let Geden hit a shocking three-pointer at a 45-degree angle, and took the landlords 121-119 away under the away disadvantage, stealing the first victory in the series.

Jokoch made 15 of 29 shots in the game, with 42 points, 22 rebounds, 6 assists and 2 assists. Although he made 7 mistakes, his flaws did not hide his merits. The winner Geden scored 22 points and 14 rebounds, and Jamal Murray scored 21 points, 6 rebounds and 6 assists. Christian Braun scored 11 points, 13 rebounds and 3 assists, and Russell Westbrook scored 18 points on 7 of 13 shots.

Murray and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander both scored double-digit points after the start of the game; except for the backwardness at the beginning of the first quarter, the Thunder gradually gained a lead despite 0 of 10 shots from the outside, but they still rely on defense to gradually gain a lead.

After the game, the Thunder kept a gap of about 10 points, until Russell Westbrook suddenly scored 10 points in his solo quarter, driving the team to continue to advance. After playing the gold nuggets in the third quarter, he caught up with only 5 points.

When the nuggets were chasing, it was not the Three Musketeers who supported the Thunder's attack, but the substitute guard Alex Caruso. He scored three three-pointers from the end of the third quarter to the beginning of the fourth quarter, scoring an important 10 points so that the Thunder would not completely lose the lead.

Subsequently, Jalen Williams and Alexander stepped up to take over, and the two scored 10 points in a row with penalty, allowing the Thunder to widen the double-digit score difference. Jokoch was hailed as a malicious foul against Luguentz Dort, and the Thunder took advantage of the situation to take a 13-point lead. Jokoch began to show his power, and scored 14 points alone, leading the gold nugget to launch a fierce attack of 19 to 7, and instantly caught up to only 1 point.
