Jokic admitted a fact that Westbrook received respect! Alexander was a little bit of the batch, and Murray was very confident

On May 12, the Nuggets played against the Thunder at home. At the end of the game, the Nuggets lost to the Thunder 87-92. In this game, the Nuggets and Thunder both had a very sluggish outside three-pointer state, but the Thunder could still take the lead with Alexander and Doulter's performance. However, in the third quarter, the Nuggets still found an offensive state. When Murray, Braun, Jokic and Westbrook were able to hit three-pointers, the Nuggets directly overtook, and at this time the Thunder was suppressed very uncomfortable. However, at the critical moment, the Thunder directly replaced several substitutes, and the Thunder played a huge role in the choice. When Wiggins and Wallace broke out, the Thunder directly reversed the decline. Then the Thunder suppressed the Nuggets, and the Thunder finally won the game.

Jokic performed poorly in this game. Jokic made 0 of 3 points in the first quarter. When Jokic found some offensive states in the second and third quarters, Jokic fell into a downturn again in the fourth quarter. Even in the game, Jokic missed two free throws. It can be said that Jokic's performance was really out of standard. At the end of the game, Jokic made 7 of 22 points, scored 27 points, 13 rebounds and 3 assists. After this game, talking about the inefficient performance in the past few games, Jokic said: There are various reasons. They have made excellent defense against me, given a lot of physical confrontations, and I have also missed two or three open balls myself, so there are all reasons. They have contracted defense, and there are defenders behind my defenders. I need to do better, but that is part of the game.

It can be seen that Jokic also admitted a fact that the Thunder's defense in this round of series did bring great trouble to Jokic, so Jokic played very hard in the game, but Jokic, as the core of the team, must overcome such a dilemma, otherwise it will be extremely difficult for the Nuggets to win. As for Westbrook's poor offense in this game, Westbrook scored 2 of 12 shots and scored 6 points, 3 rebounds and 1 assist at the end of the game, with a plus-minus value of -20 being the largest in the team. When such data appeared, Westbrook encountered many doubts, but now Nuggets reporter Ryan Blackburn wrote on social media: At critical moments, Westbrook showed high-level defensive efforts and forced the opponent to jump the ball, which is very good. Denver's defensive performance was particularly outstanding throughout the game. Even if the shooting feels bad, their defense never slackens. The team demonstrated high energy, high investment and excellent execution.

Although Westbrook's data is not good, Westbrook did give great help to the team on the defensive end in this game, so Westbrook also gained respect. Moreover, the person who was sluggish in this game was not just Westbrook, but Porter scored only 3 points in 1 of 7 shots in this game. At the same time, the person who stayed on the court at the critical moment was Porter, so Westbrook should not be questioned so much. Although the Thunder won the game, there is something that Alexander really deserves to be subscribed, and this is that Alexander was obsessed with singles at the critical moment of the fourth quarter. In the last stage of the fourth quarter of this game, Alexander began to be obsessed with shooting three-pointers again. In the end, Alexander made frequent three-pointers, which means that the Nuggets did not respond. Otherwise, if the Nuggets could really catch up points, then Alexander would encounter huge doubts. You should know that Alexander's performance in the G3 game led to the team losing, so Alexander's style of playing really deserves to be subscribed.

After this game, when asked whether he could rely on the team's always tenacious spirit and regain his strength in the game of Tianwangshan, Murray said: Now it has become a 2-win system in 3 games, guys, this hasn't arrived yet. Now we draw 2-2, and there are three games left in this series. It can be seen that Murray is still very confident now. Although it is a pity for the Nuggets to lose this game, especially when they are exhausted, the victory balance of this round of the series has already tilted towards the Thunder. However, Murray obviously doesn't care about this situation, and in the first three games, the Nuggets really made people see their tenacity many times, so the Thunder don't want to eliminate the Nuggets easily in the next game.
