Overtime! The Nuggets win! The best game in Jokic s career

1:35pm, 16 May 2025【Basketball】

In the third game of the Western Conference semi-finals, the Nuggets returned to their home court and defeated the Thunder 113-104 overtime, taking the lead with a total score of 2-1.

Technical statistics:

Murray scored 27 points, 4 rebounds, 8 assists, 4 assists, Gordon scored 22 points, 8 rebounds, 5 assists, Porter scored 21 points, 8 rebounds, 1 assist, Jokic scored 20 points, 16 rebounds, 6 assists, 2 attacks, Braun scored 8 points, 7 rebounds, 1 assist 2 attacks, Westbrook scored 8 points, 1 rebound, 4 assists, 2 interrupts, Watson scored 7 points, 5 rebounds and 2 hats.

Jalenway scored 32 points, 3 rebounds and 5 assists, Homgren scored 18 points, 16 rebounds and 3 hats, Alexander scored 18 points, 13 rebounds, 7 assists and 2 breaks, Haltenstein scored 10 points, 10 rebounds and 4 assists, and Caruso scored 7 points, 2 rebounds and 2 assists.

First I want to talk about one thing. I always said that the Nuggets played 6.5 players. Today, I officially announced: Comrade Watson, you have changed from 0.5 to 1. In the future, the Nuggets will have 7 players playing basketball.

As for whom those 7 players are, that is the technical statistics above.

Today, Watson did make contributions to both offense and defense, and the Nuggets can use it in the future.

This is an unconventional game.

It is no exaggeration to say that Jokic is the most stable star in the current NBA in my mind, and he rarely has a down game.

Today, Teacher Yo almost became a war criminal: he made 8 of 25 shots, 0 of 10 three-pointers, 4 of 4 free throws, scored 20 points, 16 rebounds, 6 assists, 2 steals and 2 blocks, and scored 4 points in overtime and gave 1 assist.

You read that right, I asked the teacher to get 0 out of 10 outside, but I haven’t woken up yet?

But, this is how competitive sports are, as long as the team wins.

If in the past, I was the teacher who was dragging the team forward with the burden, then today's theme is: all Nuggets saved the soldier Jokic.

Murray, Gordon, and Dajibang Porter, these three.

Gordon, a tied three-pointer in regular time, Murray made a sudden foreign shot... Especially Porter, who earned $35.68 million in an annual salary, scored only 8 points and 5 rebounds in the last game, and made great contributions today, and shot after shot to help the Nuggets survive.

In today's game, we have a deeper sense of how the teams that have won the championship play the key ball.

After experiencing the baptism of the competition, the temperament of the competition is indeed very different.

Nuggets' experience reminds me of Haruki Murakami's famous quote in "Kafka by the Sea":

"After the storm, you won't remember how you survived, but it must be that after you pass through the storm, you are no longer the same person."

The thunder is still young when you hit overtime. Why does

reach overtime?

"No. 1 war criminal" Alexander.

played 44 minutes and 48 seconds in the whole game, made 7 of 22 shots (1 of 6 three-pointers), 3 of 5 free throws, scored 18 points, 13 rebounds, 7 assists and 2 steals, and made 1 turnover, with a plus-minus value -4.

His ironshot ruined the team's victory.

Overtime, Jaylen Williams, who performed well, couldn't touch the ball, and the Thunder deserved to lose.

When the key round is played, SGA often wants to have a whistle. This is a game in Denver, and the referee does not blow it.

On the other side, Murray's every ball is tough, and without comparison, there will be no harm.

From the perspective of most of the time of the game, the Thunder is the dominant side and is a big advantage.

However, the advantage did not turn into a winning streak.

On the one hand, we should praise the Nuggets' tenacity, and we do have the team character. The goals one by one are...

And from the losing side, Jokic was so fucked like that in the first half, and your advantage is only 5 points, which should be 15 points.

This laid the groundwork for the entire game.

Say a thousand words: If SGA is the last person, the Thunder will win today.

The last thing I want to say is:

The stage of the playoffs, see who is the real star, nothing else, get the ball in at a critical moment.

No matter how hard you beat the front, you can ignore it.

Overtime, about 4 points for the teacher, Alexander, 0 points.
