The Minnesota Timberwolves have already produced the floor of the NBA playoffs this season, and they defeated the Golden State Warriors 4-1 to advance to the Western Conference Finals. Another team was produced between the Thunder and the Nuggets. This contest, which started at 8:30 am on May 16, will determine the fate of the Denver Nuggets. Whether the Thunder wins or the Nuggets tie hard will be shown in this game!

In the "Sun Mountain" battle between the two sides, the Thunder defeated the Nuggets 112-105 and ultimately failed to lose their home advantage. Alexander scored 31 points, 6 rebounds, 7 assists, 2 steals and 2 blocks, Jaylen Williams scored 18 points, 9 rebounds and 4 assists, the inside combination of Homgren and Haltenstein scored 29 points, 15 rebounds, and Caruso scored 13 points and 4 rebounds. Alexander, the star of the player, actually struggled for a while. He finally ended the fourth quarter with Jaylen Williams' three-pointer. After a strong response of 2+1, he found an advantage. The Thunder's lineup depth advantage was well reflected.

For the Nuggets, Jokic, who scored 44 points, 15 rebounds, 5 assists and 2 steals in the whole game, averaged up to 7 turnovers per game by averaging as many as 7 turnovers in the first three games, has already given all his money. You can't ask the teacher to do more, what else do you want to do 44 points? However, the team's bench depth was insufficient, and they finally lost when they were 12 points ahead, which fully exposed the team's insufficient lineup depth. However, Jamal Murray had 28 points, 4 rebounds and 3 assists, and Aaron Gordon had 13 points, 5 rebounds and 3 assists. However, the playoffs were not that simple. In the G6 battle, more people needed to stand up and share the pressure of the main players. This is what Westbrook needs to do. The showdown between the two sides is quite fierce, especially in the continuous high-intensity schedule, the Nuggets' physical condition is worrying. In the 4th and 5th games of this round of series, the team was reversed by their opponents in the 4th quarter to win the game, which made the team alert, but there was no better way: Jokic could not go on. But equally, the stability of the Thunder is also questionable. This game cannot be missed for the Nuggets. Only when the team wins, they can drag the game into the "Grab 7". The Nuggets have the ability to counterattack.
