Homegren: Alexander is the MVP, winning because of the continued high-intensity defense of the Nuggets

On May 19, the NBA playoffs continued, with the Thunder defeating the Nuggets 125-93, eliminating their opponents 4-3 in total, and advancing to the Western Conference Finals. In this game, Thunder player Chet Homgren played for 28 minutes, scored 13 points, 11 rebounds, 1 assist, 1 steal and 1 block, and the plus-minus value on the court +34. After the game, Homegren was interviewed by the media and commented on the game.

Homgren praised his teammate Alexander, and he said, "Do you know who he is? MVP."

Speaking of the Thunder's defense, Homgren said, "It's thanks to the defenders that make everything difficult. Not only does Jokic have a hard time getting a phone, but anyone trying to pass the ball to him is also facing obstacles. We put in a high-intensity pressure, thanks to those guys. I just need to make sure they know if they're over the defense, I'll be Behind them, this is why we can keep putting pressure on. I try to do everything as usual in every game, but I understand the importance of this game."

When talking about the matchup between the Timberwolves in the Western Conference Finals and the Timberwolves in their hometown team, Homgren said: "It's amazing. The Timberwolves never entered the playoffs as I grew up. There has never been a playoff atmosphere in this city, but I'm sure the atmosphere is very lively now."
