NBA playoffs continue, with the first group of matches in the second round of the Western Conference, with the Thunder sitting at home to meet the Nuggets' challenge. At the beginning, the two sides fought back and forth, and the scores rose alternately. At the beginning of the second quarter, Caruso broke out and made continuous steals. The Thunder made a breakthrough in and out of the field, widening the gap to 10 points. Entering the third quarter, the Thunder once led by 18 points. After that, Jokic stood up, Westbrook and Gordon also scored frequently. At the last moment, the Thunder failed to score a penalty, Gordon scored a three-pointer, and the Nuggets conquered the Thunder 121-119. Just today, Jokic went crazy and scored a unique record in the 1979 NBA.

Alexander continued his outstanding performance, making 12 of 26 shots today, scoring a comprehensive data of 33 points, 10 rebounds and 8 assists. Dort hit 4 three-pointers and scored 14 points. The second in commander Jaylen Williams was completely lost, with only 5 shots in 20 attempts, and only 16 points were scored. Chet was also in poor form, contributing 12 points, 6 rebounds and 4 blocks, but lost both key free throws, resulting in a loss. Center Harteng scored 12 points and 9 rebounds, and his performance was average. Caruso on the bench exploded, scoring 20 points, 6 assists and 5 steals, but still failed to defend the home court. In terms of the Nuggets, Murray contributed 21 points, 6 rebounds and 6 assists, completing his mission well. Braun scored a double-double with 11 points and 13 rebounds, and Aaron Gordon became the savior, scoring 22 points and 14 rebounds in the game, and hit a winning three-pointer. Porter Jr. was plagued by injuries, and only scored 2 points in 1 of 8 shots. Westbrook performed perfectly on the bench, scoring gorgeous data of 18 points, 2 rebounds and 2 assists efficiently. Watson and Strauss also performed, and the team is full of soldiers.

The Nuggets can hold on until the last moment mainly relies on Jokic's super-god performance. When he was 18 points behind, Jokic kept carrying the team forward. He played 42 minutes in the game, made 15 of 29 shots, scored 42 points, 22 rebounds, 6 assists and 2 blocks. Although he made 7 mistakes, the flaws did not hide the merits.

In this way, Jokic also set an amazing record. He became the first player in NBA playoff history to have 42 points, 22 rebounds, 6 assists and 2 blocks in a single game. Such a performance is definitely an epic performance. So far in the playoffs, Jokic averaged an exaggerated data of 26.2 points, 13 rebounds, 9.6 assists per game, and maintained a 50% shooting percentage and 43% three-point shooting percentage. The offensive end can be described as a devastating one. Looking at the entire NBA history, there has never been such a center player.

As the fourth-place team in the West, he currently wins the first away goal in the Thunder and successfully gets a home advantage. If you can still win a home court next, the Nuggets' road to promotion will be broad.
