Nuggets lost match point and scored 2-2! 12 three-pointers in the final quarter and 3 free throws were made. Gordon failed to save his home again

On May 12, the NBA playoffs continued. In today's Western Conference semi-finals, the Nuggets lost to the Thunder 87-92 at home, and the total score of the series became 2-2.

Nuggets started very unfavorable today. The team scored only 8 points in a row on the outside, and was led by the Thunder by 9 points. After entering the second quarter, the Nuggets fell behind by as much as 15 points, and then they began to counterattack, narrowing to 6 points at the end of the first half. After the third quarter, the Nuggets made consecutive outside hits to complete the overtake, leading into the final quarter with 6 points. In the last quarter, the Nuggets were hit by the Thunder to climax the offensive. They then missed the free throw and failed to respond to the Thunder's offense. At the last moment of the game, Gordon hit a three-pointer again, but unfortunately he failed to win.

Nuggets suffered a defeat today, and Jokic's performance was not efficient. In the last game, Jokic only made 8 of 25 shots in the whole game. His performance today was also bleak. In the whole game, Jokic played for a total of 43 minutes, made 7 of 22 shots, including 2 of 8 three-pointers and 11 of 14 free throws, scoring a total of 27 points, 13 rebounds, 3 assists and 4 steals. In the last quarter, Jokic made 2 of 7 shots and scored only 5 points with 1 of 4 free throws.

Among other players, Gordon scored 12 points, 16 rebounds and 6 assists, Murray scored 17 points and 4 rebounds, Braun scored 17 points, and Porter Jr. had 3 points and 9 rebounds.

It should be noted that in today's first quarter, the Nuggets made 0 of 14 three-pointers; according to statistics, the Nuggets missed three-pointers in a single quarter tied the NBA playoff record (the Rockets made 0 of 14 three-pointers in the third quarter of the Western Conference Finals in 2018, and failed to make 27 consecutive three-pointers). The Nuggets' outside feel then recovered, especially in the third quarter, which shot 7 of 11 shots in a single quarter. Unfortunately, the team made 1 of 12 three-pointers in the last quarter, and 3 of 8 free throws at the same time, which became the reason for the final loss.

For the Nuggets, today's loss is very regrettable. If they win, they will get the match point. It should be noted that the reason why the Nuggets failed to defend their title last season was because they were eliminated 4-3 by the Timberwolves in the semi-finals. Now that they won the Western Conference semi-finals, they are in front of them, but they were reversed in the final quarter and had to return to the same starting line as their opponents.

According to the schedule, the G5 of the two teams will be held on May 14. Can the Nuggets win Tianwangshan away? Let's wait and see!
