It all comes down to this moment, as a spot in the Western Conference Finals against the Timberwolves is on the line. Game 7 of the Western Conference semifinals between the Thunder and the Nuggets takes place Sunday night.
As one may expect, it's been a back-and-forth series between two of the best teams out west. The Thunder did manage to win Games 4 and 5 to force a decider in Game 6, but Denver had other ideas for an exciting finish.
Game 6 went to Denver, fueled by a Herculean effort from Jamal Murray. After spending much of Wednesday feeling ill, Murray was available for Thursday night's game and scored 25 points in the 119-107 win. Leading the Nuggets was Nikola Jokic with 25 points, 14 rebounds and eight assists.
The Nuggets also received help off their bench from second-year guard Julian Strawther. Strawther was a key to a second-half surge that helped Denver pull away, recording 15 points -- all in the final two quarters.
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander led Oklahoma City in defeat, with 32 points, three rebounds and six assists. Three other Thunder players scored in double digits, though all of their point totals were below 20 points.
