OKC Thunder Wire on MSNNuggets vs. Thunder: Live updates, highlights for Tuesday's Game 5The Oklahoma City Thunder will host the Denver Nuggets for Game 5 of their Round 2 NBA playoff series on Tuesday. The series is tied at 2-2. The Thunder survived a do-or-die situation when they escaped with a 92-87 Game 4 win over the Nuggets on Sunday.
The Pacers won Games 1, 2 and 5 at Rocket Mortgage Arena to help secure their spot in the Eastern Conference Finals. Indiana needed to battle back from a 12-point first-quarter deficit. Tyrese Haliburton's three-point shooting played a huge role in clawing back into the game.
If it was a stretch that won it, look no further than Lu Dort's three straight 3-pointers in the fourth quarter. Those triples took advantage of a seven-minute stretch without a field goal for the Nuggets, who led by as much as 12 points in the third quarter and by eight entering the fourth quarter.
The Nuggets are on the brink of elimination after a 12-point lead in the second half disappeared in Oklahoma City.
Not even an astounding performance from Nikola Jokić was enough to defeat the Oklahoma City Thunder on Tuesday.
