Not even an astounding performance from Nikola Jokić was enough to defeat the Oklahoma City Thunder on Tuesday.
Denver was last in the league in 3-point attempts per game during the regular season (31.9), but that number has jumped to 38.5 3PA in the four contests against OKC. In their first-round series versus the LA Clippers, the Nuggets fired up an average of just 29.0 3PA across seven games.
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander pushed the the Thunder past Denver in a 112-105 win for a 3-2 series lead with clutch finish in Game 5 of the Western Conference semifinals.
