NBA Playoff: Nuggets jumps back from the blowout in the game 3 OT thriller and takes over 2-1 series lead over Thunder

Denver – game 2 is a thing of the past.

After an outbreak of historical dimensions through the Wednesday evening of the Oklahoma City Thunder, the Denver Nuggets received their serenity and their shape on Friday for an overtime thriller from 113-104 in game 3 of the semi-finals of the Western Conference.

Denver gathered with a half-time deficit of 56: 51 and, with a Nikola Jokić Turnaround Jumper, achieved a profit in regulation that had expired in the fourth quarter.

But Jokić replied with a layup to open overtime, which triggered a 7-0 nugget run and put the ball arena in frenzy. Michael Porter Jr. followed Jokić’s bucket with a 3, and Jamal Murray gave the Nuggets a head start of 109-102 with a fast layup of thunder.

A Thunder team that looked in game 2 like World Beater was ready. His MVP finalist Shai Gilgeous-Alexander fought down the route when the Nuggets took control. And the best team from the regular season was not answered in the extension.

The Nuggets keep the home advantage that you stole from thunder with a stunner in game 1.

The heels for the Nuggets reached 149-106 on Wednesday against Oklahoma City, in which the thunder set a playoff record with 8 points in the first half. But the margin of victory does not matter in the large scheme.

Denvers one-point victory in the game with game 1 and nine points in game 3 is enough to overcome the 43-point falling from Oklahoma City to control the series via No. 1 seed in the Western Conference.

“It’s just a loss,” said Nuggets coach David Adelman before the game on Friday on Friday. “I know that they broke records or whatever. But it’s 1: 1. I didn’t feel embarrassed. I felt great played and we played badly. And it is sport, and sometimes that happens.”

Michael Porter Jr. appears

Michael Porter Jr. was disabled by a persistent shoulder injury on the street and a total of 10 points in Oklahoma City in games 1 and 2. At home in Denver he returned as an effect when he showed 21 points and eight rebounds, while he shot 5 out of 6.

Porter’s playoffs have so far been a case of festival or famine, and he has often dealt with the bench of head coach David Adelmans in pressure situations when he fights. But that wasn’t the case on Friday evening. Porter led the nuggets at halftime with 15 points through hot shooting from the distant stars.
