The best team in the NBA regular season, Oklahoma, returned the break in the Western Conference playoff semifinals on the Denver court -
In a record-breaking game, because never in the history of the playoffs have there been only 25 points in the first quarter - 8:17. Oklahoma hit one of 11 three-pointers, Denver none of 14 three-pointers.
The guests traditionally entered the game better and had 15 points.
But Nikola Jokić scored 11 points in the third quarter, as many as in the entire first half, the Nuggets turned things around and seemed to be heading for a big 3:1 series lead.
But then the Thunder's surprising hero appeared - Cason Wallace, who made three three-pointers without missing at the end of the third and beginning of the final quarter.
The Denver team was visibly tired after a grueling seven-game series with the Clippers and now Oklahoma, which eliminated Memphis 4-0, has a chance to take the series lead on the entire floor - Tuesday night at 3,30:XNUMX AM.
Jokić had 27 points and 133 rebounds, Christian Brown and Jamal Murray had 17 each, while Eric Gordon had 15 points and 16 rebounds, but they didn't get the right support from their teammates.
On the other side, Shai Giljeans-Alexander scored 25 points with all five missed threes, but he had four other teammates in double figures.
The result is 2:2.
