The Oklahoma City Thunder are taking the show on the road in the second round of the NBA Playoffs. It is a game that can swing a series, with the Thunder hitting the road to Denver to face off with the altitude and a Nuggets team that is eager to wash the bad taste of Game 2 out of their mouths.

With the series even at 1-1, the OKC Thunder have to find a way to win at least one of these games in the Mile High City. That would grant the Thunder back control of home court advantage after the Nuggets did its job to steal it away.

While many –– including this scribe –– view a Game 3 as a swing game in a series and most the time it is, you do not have to look far to see a team that faltered in Game 3 go on to advance in the series. The Nuggets lost the third game against the LA Clippers just one round ago before regrouping to win the set in seven games.

The Oklahoma City Thunder will be put to the test in this game. Not only do role players typically play better at home but this is a young group heading into enemy territory. Denver has yet to shoot the ball effectively in this series and will have their best chance to do so in Ball Arena.
