In a tightly-contested Game 3, the Denver Nuggets outlasted the Oklahoma City Thunder, scoring the first seven points of overtime to take a 2-1 lead in the series.

Denver looked fresher later, despite a rough overall performance from its MVP candidate in Nikola Jokic.

In Game 1, the Nuggets effectively stole the contest, with a gargantuan, 42-point effort from MVP-candidate Nikola Jokic. Aaron Gordon would hit the go-ahead 3-pointer, and Denver would take the first game of the series. Game 2 was rarely close, with OKC righting the ship and coasting to a 43-point win to even the series.
