We have a seventh in Oklahoma! Shai can't handle Jokic in Denver
Despite winning 68 regular season games, Oklahoma City is struggling a lot against the Nuggets
Nikola Jokic is the best player in the world and once again proved it yesterday by leading the Denver Nuggets to the seventh game of the Western Conference semifinals. The Colorado team defeated the Oklahoma City Thunder 119-107 in a very solid duel where their star showed he is on another level.
The Serbian finished the game with 29 points, 14 rebounds, and 8 assists in a masterful lesson on the court. Daigneault, after the game, admitted they had been overrun in the second half. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, his MVP rival, delivered with 32 points, and Chet Holmgren contributed 19. Jalen Williams had a terrible game (3 for 16), and we'll see if he struggles again in the seventh game as he did last year against Luka Doncic's Mavs (good times).
Jamal Murray, supposedly ill, was superb with 25 points. Christian Braun found his shot and ended with 24. Fantastic performance from Julian Strawther off the bench with 15. They were better in three-pointers and rebounds, and if that happens again, they will win in OKC. It's that simple. Let's see how the Thunder respond. Remember, they are a 68-win team. It would be a disaster to see them fall in the second round.
