The Oklahoma City Thunder and Denver Nuggets have gone back and forth in their Round 2 playoff series over the last two weeks. It’s only fitting that the electric matchup will reach a decisive Game 7.
The Thunder couldn’t close it on the road with a 119-107 Game 6 loss to the Nuggets. Flirting with a double-digit lead, Denver punched back against OKC as its role players stepped up to help Nikola Jokic and Jamal Murray.
Now the Thunder, who won a franchise record 68 games, are trying to win the title for the first time since the franchise moved from Seattle to Oklahoma City in 2008.
