May 17th news, NBA Western Conference semifinals continued fiercely, Denver Nuggets showed the tenacity and heritage of the defending champions on the brink of life and death. Facing the young and vigorous Oklahoma City Thunder, the Nuggets completed a 119-107 reversal at home, tying the series score to 3-3, bringing the suspense into the seventh game.

In this game, the two core players of the Nuggets are still the twin engines of the team. Center Nikola Jokic once again showed his MVP- level dominance, scoring 29 points, 14 rebounds and 8 assists, almost omnipotent. His partner Jamal Murray scored 25 points despite playing with an illness , including a "4- point play " in the first quarter and a key three-pointer in the final quarter, which was one of the key factors for the Nuggets' victory in this game.

What's more worth mentioning is the amazing performance of the two surprise players on the Nuggets bench. Second-year guard Strausser scored 15 points in the second half, setting a new personal playoff scoring record. In the third quarter, he scored 7 points in a row to lead the team to a 10-0 offensive , completely turning the tide. And Braun played a masterpiece of the season and even his career, scoring 23 points and 12 rebounds. Not only was he good at both offense and defense, he also grabbed key rebounds many times, becoming an X factor that cannot be ignored in the Nuggets .

On the Thunder side, MVP favorite Gilgeous - Alexander tried his best to score a game-high 32 points, and continued to play tough despite four fouls. But his teammates failed to give him enough support. Chet Holmgren contributed 19 points, which was stable, but the core forward Jalen Williams was completely out of his mind, hitting only 3 of 16 shots and scoring only 6 points, which became one of the important reasons for the Thunder's defeat.

In the first half of the game, the Thunder led 61-58 thanks to Lu Dort's three-pointer at the buzzer . However, the Nuggets played a key 12-0 offensive in the last two minutes of the first half , not only regaining the lead, but also completely regaining morale. This climax became the turning point of the game, and the Nuggets almost controlled the entire rhythm in the second half.

With the victory in hand, the Nuggets will face the Thunder in Game 7 of the series. This life-and-death battle will start this Sunday in Oklahoma City, and the winner will advance to the Western Conference Finals to face the Minnesota Timberwolves, who have already advanced one step.

However, the Nuggets also have concerns. Main forward Aaron Gordon had a suspected hamstring strain in the fourth quarter, and his injury is still awaiting further evaluation. If he is unable to play in the seventh game, it will have a significant impact on the Nuggets' frontcourt rotation.

Regardless, this series between the young Thunder and the defending champions has become one of the most exciting duels of the season. The seventh game will not only determine the final opponent of the Western Conference Finals, but also a direct dialogue between two basketball styles and different team building concepts, which is worth waiting for by all NBA fans.
