Refusing to reverse 15 points! The league won the first place in the iron battle, and the three substitutes saved Alexander

On May 12, the NBA playoff semi-finals continued, with the Nuggets playing against the Thunder at home. Both teams were in a sluggish offensive form in this game. The Nuggets only scored 8 points in the first quarter. The Thunder took the initiative and established a 15-point lead at one time.

Unfortunately, the team fell into a scoring drought in the last quarter and failed to continue the momentum. In the end, the Nuggets lost to the Thunder 87-92 at home, and the score was tied 2-2.

This game is very important for the league's No. 1 Thunder. Once you lose again, it means that you will fall behind 1-3 in the big score. However, both teams are very sluggish in the offense, and the Thunder leads 17-8 in the first quarter. After that, the two teams slowly recovered, and the Thunder still took the initiative on the field, but in the second half, the Nuggets showed better momentum, winning 12 points in a single quarter to overtake the score. But in the final quarter, the Nuggets failed to continue their momentum and fell into a scoring drought. After that, they missed opportunities one after another. In the end, the Thunder won 92-87.

From the score of the game, we can see that the offensive efficiency of the two teams in this game is very low, with no shooting percentage of the shooting percentage of neither of them exceeding 40%, and the three-point shooting percentage is both 24.4%. The Thunder, the number one in the Thunder, was also in danger. When they were leading by 15 points at one point, they were overtaken in the second half. Fortunately, they successfully withstood the situation in the last quarter to avoid falling into an unfavorable situation of falling behind 1-3.

And this time the Thunder was able to win because of the performance of the three substitutes and became the surprise. In this case, Wallace scored 11 points for 3 of 3 points, Caruso scored 10 points, Wiggins scored 11 points with 11 points, leading the team with the plus and negative values ​​present, directly defeating the Nuggets' substitute. It was their performance that saved Alexander, who was still in poor form this time, with 8 of 19 shots, 0 of 5 three-pointers, 25 points, 6 rebounds and 6 assists, and thanked the substitute players after the game.

Nuggets are a pity. If they have the chance to get the promotion point in advance at home, no surprises have come forward this time. Westbrook, on the bench, scored 6 points only, with a plus-minus value of -20, the worst team. Jokic's offensive efficiency is not high, with 7 of 22 shots and 13 rebounds; Murray and Braun both scored 17 points, Gordon scored 15 points and 16 rebounds.
