David Adelman didn't give Nikola Jokić or Jamal Murray a breather with the Thunder on the ropes. He should regret that.

The Thunder have a 3-2 lead in the series over the Nuggets and have the opportunity to advance to the Western Conference finals tonight.

Jokić played the entire second half as Denver rode it stars. But fatigue was evident as OKC rallied for the pivotal Game 5 win.

The Oklahoma City Thunder, the top seed in the Western Conference, are one win away from punching their ticket to the conference finals of the 2025 NBA playoffs. But the Denver Nuggets will not go quietly and will try to hold court in Denver for Game 6 on Thursday night.

Nikola Jokić lived up to his nickname on Friday, arriving at the Ball Arena wearing a Joker-inspired purple and green suit before helping the Denver Nuggets to a dramatic, overtime 113-104 win over the Oklahoma City Thunder in Game 3 of their playoff series.

The Denver Nuggets face elimination Thursday night against the Oklahoma City Thunder, and their chance of extending the series to force a Game 7 may have just hit a snag. On the most recent injury report, Jamal Murray is listed as questionable with an illness.

For most of the Nikola Jokić era, the Nuggets' path to success hinged on the three-time MVP putting up near-historic numbers on a nightly basis. He averages near a triple-double most seasons, not only because he's absurdly talented,

It's mid-May, and we still do not yet (officially) know who the 2025 NBA MVP is.
