The Denver Nuggets are on the brink of elimination as they face the Oklahoma City Thunder in Game 6, trailing the series 3-2. The Nuggets, despite exhaustion and heavy reliance on their starting lineup, display determination led by Jamal Murray and Nikola Jokic. While the Thunder show resilience with multiple players rotating seamlessly, Denver struggles with fatigue, particularly in fourth quarters. Murray emphasizes their belief amid struggles, highlighting that resolve is what truly matters as the Nuggets fight for survival in their quest for the West Finals.
They trail Oklahoma City 3-2, a young Thunder team marching with purpose, poise, and the kind of late-game resilience that feels years beyond their age.
Through five games, Denver's starting five has logged nearly 1,000 minutesâa grueling stretch with little relief. Depth, once a detail, is now a dilemma.
Jamal Murray, ever the heartbeat, spoke softly but firmly: 'We're not done.' Because in these games, belief can't be measured in shooting percentage. Only in resolve.
Nikola Jokic, battered and brilliant, poured in 44 in Game 5. Alone in his rhythm. Around him, a silence of missed threes and missed chances.
