The offensive and defensive game is full! The Thunder Nuggets draw 2-2, who can break the deadlock in the battle of Tianwang Mountain?
On the battlefield of the 2025 NBA Western Conference Semi-Finals, the Thunder and the Nuggets' competition can be regarded as a turbulent and passionate blockbuster. At present, the two sides tied 2-2 in the big score, and every game in the series is full of drama and gunpowder.
Review of the four games that have been played, each with memorable moments. In G1, Gordon's buzzer-beating three-pointer allowed the Nuggets to win the first place; G2 Thunder won with a huge score difference of 43 points, setting a playoff half-time scoring record; G3 Nuggets reversed in overtime to win, and Gordon's tied three-pointer in regular time became a classic; G4 Thunder played away, defeating the Nuggets 92-87 with an offensive 11-0 in the last quarter, and tenaciously tied the big score.
From the perspective of player performance, both core members have shown strong strength and fighting spirit. Although Jokic missed three-pointers in two consecutive games, he is still the Nuggets' stabilizing point in rebounding and support, and can contribute 25+12+6 per game. Gordon became the key player in the playoffs, contributing two finals and one draw in the series. On the Thunder, after the G3 was sluggish, Alexander scored 9 points in the last quarter of G4, successfully breaking through the Nuggets' double-team strategy; Jaylen Williams averaged efficiently in the series, with G3 scoring 32 points.
At the tactical level, the game between the two teams is also very exciting. The Thunder used unlimited switches to limit Jokic, which was a significant effect in G4, resulting in Jokic making five mistakes; the Nuggets designed joint defense against Alexander, forcing him to choose more mid-range jump shots. In addition, the referee's penalty has also caused a lot of controversy. The jump ball penalty in the final quarter of G4, Westbrook's six-foul departure, and Gordon's "invalid three-pointer" have all become the focus of hot discussion among fans and the media.
Now, the series is about to usher in the crucial battle of Tianwang Mountain. On May 14, the game will be played at the Thunder home court. The Thunder's away winning rate this season is as high as 82%, showing strong away combat capabilities; while the Nuggets have richer key combat experience. For the Thunder, continuing team defense and outside firepower is the key to winning; the Nuggets need to activate the projection stability of Murray and Porter Jr. and reduce Jokic's mistakes.
This series is not only a showdown between superstars, but also a contest of tactical depth and psychological toughness. Every detail may become the key to determining the outcome. Who can stand out in the Battle of Tianwang Mountain and successfully get the ticket to the Western Finals? Let's wait and see!
