Nikola Jokic Leads Nuggets to Win, Forces Game 7 Against Thunder

Posted : 16 May 2025

Nikola Jokic delivered a standout performance with 29 points and 14 rebounds, leading the Denver Nuggets to a 119-107 victory over the Oklahoma City Thunder. This crucial win forced a decisive seventh game in their Western Conference semi-final series. Denver had been trailing 3-2 after losing late leads in the previous two games but rallied in the second half to secure the win and keep their playoff hopes alive.

 

The Nuggets’ interim coach David Adelman praised his team’s resilience, highlighting their ability to recover from setbacks. “To win that fourth quarter after what happened in the last two games shows a lot about our guys,” Adelman said. “We just keep finding our way.”

 

Jamal Murray contributed 25 points, eight rebounds, and seven assists despite battling illness, while Christian Braun added 23 points and 11 rebounds. Julian Strawther also made an impact off the bench, scoring a postseason career-high 15 points.

 

For the Thunder, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander was the top scorer with 32 points, supported by Chet Holmgren’s 19 points and 11 rebounds. Luguentz Dort, Alex Caruso, and Cason Wallace each chipped in 10 points. Oklahoma City finished the regular season as the Western Conference’s top seed with an impressive 68-14 record, but now face a tough Game 7 on Sunday as they try to close out the series at home.

 

The winner of this series will face the Minnesota Timberwolves in the Western Conference final. The Timberwolves, who defeated the Nuggets in last year’s Game 7 of the semi-finals, are waiting to see who will advance. The upcoming clash promises to be intense as both Denver and Oklahoma City fight to reach the conference final.
