On May 18, the 2024-25 NBA playoffs are entering a white-hot stage, and the Denver Nuggets will challenge the Oklahoma City Thunder away to usher in a tiebreaker. As the two teams fought for six games in the series, each defending their home court, the suspense of the outcome was left to the last game. Before the final game, the injury of Aaron Gordon, the core forward of the Nuggets, became the focus of the audience.

According to NBA famous reporter Shams , Nuggets forward Aaron Gordon accidentally pulled his left hamstring with 1 minute and 45 seconds left in the final quarter of Game 6 and was subsequently forced to leave the court. Gordon's current status is " doubtful to play " . There is about a 50% chance that he will miss Game 7. This sudden injury undoubtedly casts a shadow on the Nuggets' prospects for promotion.

In the last game, the Nuggets defeated the Thunder 119-107 at home , successfully tying the series and dragging the game into a tiebreaker. Facing a 16- point deficit, Jokic led the team to fight back tenaciously, once again showing his MVP -level leadership value. Statistics show that in the past seven seasons, the Nuggets are one of the teams that have participated in the most tiebreakers in the league, with a record of 4 wins and 2 losses, and have a certain experience advantage.

However, the Thunder are not an easy team. As the team with the best record in the regular season this season, the Thunder made it to the semifinals, but encountered great resistance in the confrontation with the Nuggets. Core guard Alexander performed steadily in the series, but his overall playoff experience is limited, especially in a high-intensity game like the seventh game, the psychological pressure should not be underestimated. Despite this, the Thunder still has the home advantage, which is a critical benefit for the young team.

Facing the upcoming Game 7, Alexander admitted in an interview: " We know the game will be tough, and we need to be more prepared than ever before. " Thunder coach Daigneault also said that he will make further adjustments in tactics and rotations to meet the tough challenge of the Nuggets.

Regardless of the outcome, this game will be an exciting contest. If the Nuggets lose Gordon, they will face challenges on both offense and defense; while the Thunder are eager to take advantage of their home court and advance to the Western Conference Finals. As G7 approaches, the two sides are ready to fight to decide life and death.
