Oklahoma City Cruises Past Denver in Game 7 to Reach Western Conference Finals

Posted : 19 May 2025

Oklahoma City delivered a dominant performance in Game 7, defeating the Denver Nuggets 125-93 to advance to the Western Conference Finals. Despite Denver’s early double-digit lead, Oklahoma City took control in the second quarter, sparked by a 13-0 run during a period when Nuggets star Nikola Jokic was resting on the bench.

 

By halftime, Oklahoma had built a commanding 60-46 lead and extended it further early in the third quarter, eventually cruising to a decisive victory. The loss marks an early playoff exit for Denver, whose late-season coaching change failed to spark a turnaround.

 

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander led the charge for Oklahoma City with an impressive 35 points, showcasing why he is a strong candidate for MVP this postseason. Supporting him was Jaylen Williams, who added 24 points, while Jokic struggled to carry Denver with just 20 points, nine rebounds, and seven assists. Oklahoma City's balanced attack and strong defense overwhelmed the Nuggets, who appeared to lose momentum and confidence as the game progressed.

 

This win marks Oklahoma City’s first trip to the Western Conference Finals since the 2015-16 season, a series remembered for their collapse after leading 3-1 against the Golden State Warriors. That loss also signaled the end of the Kevin Durant-Russell Westbrook era in OKC, as Durant left for Golden State afterward. Westbrook, playing against his former team, contributed only six points in 22 minutes, far from the impact needed to challenge the Nuggets in this crucial game.

 

Looking ahead, Oklahoma City will face the Minnesota Timberwolves in the Western Conference Finals, while the Eastern Conference matchup will feature the Indiana Pacers and New York Knicks. With momentum firmly on their side, the Thunder aim to build on this convincing victory as they push deeper into the playoffs.
