Denver has won the close games in this series, and made a furious comeback late in Game 1 to steal a game on the road. The Thunder won Game 2 by 43 points, but the Nuggets then won in overtime in Game 3 on Friday to re-take the series lead.

Gilgeous-Alexander led Oklahoma City with 25 points, 6 rebounds, 6 assists and 2 steals. Nikola Jokić posted 27 points, 13 rebounds, 3 assists and 4 steals in the losing effort. He shot 7 of 22 from the field, and Oklahoma City's stifling defense continued to fluster him.

The Denver Nuggets enter Game 4 of the Western Conference semifinals against the Oklahoma City Thunder with a 2-1 series lead.
