The Nuggets just grabbed a 53-52 lead on an Aaron Gordon 3. A remarkable bounce back after an eight-point first quarter. Denver's hit three triples in short order after making three all of the first half.

Denver's only down six at the half, despite shooting 21.1% from the field. OKC's shooting 34% from the field. They're both 3-22 from deep. Thunder lead 42-36. For context, the Nuggets scored 36 points in the fourth quarter of G1, while OKC scored 45 in the first of G2.

A comically bad first quarter mercifully comes to an end here in Game 4. Denver and OKC combined to shoot 8-43. The Nuggets are 0-14 from deep. It's 17-8 after 12 minutes of play. Yikes.

“I think it does late in games.” -Adelman on if playoff experience matters

“Our team right now, they’re picking each other up, man by man.” -David Adelman on the team picking up Nikola Jokic on an off-night for the three-time MVP

With Nikola Jokic on the bench, the Nuggets just grabbed their first lead of the game on a Peyton Watson corner 3.

I believe Aaron Gordon just got a technical. Could have been on David Adelman. Both were arguing with the ref about the no-call on Gordon's attempted dunk a play earlier.

Ahead of Game 3 at Ball Arena, David Adelamn talks about moving forward after Wednesday's blowout in OKC, his team being ready for tonight and how he deals with moving on from a bad loss. https://t.co/Q80cXTOyZh

"It's just a loss. I know they broke records or whatever, but it's 1-1." -Adelman on the G2 blowout loss. He's stressing the importance of checking out when away from the game. "You gotta take the time ... so you can properly look at it professionally and do the right thing."

"I think it might be the three-point line." -David Adelman on why home court means less in the NBA in recent years. He also thinks that it leads to more blowouts in the postseason.

"They're all ready. I thought it was pretty abstract for us not to be ready for Game 2." David Adelman also gives OKC credit for how they played on Wednesday.

"It's 1-1 ... I'm excited for the game, I'm excited for the fans ... Really hyped for the environment." -Adelman before tonight's Game 3

"Environment will be different cause we're here, which will be nice. ... We're back home, you hope that kinda balances you out a little bit." -David Adelman on playing at home for the first time in this series.

“You gotta be confident going into.” -David Adelman on OKC being next. He also acknowledged how much rest the Thunder have had. They wrapped up their first round series a week ago.

“This was a memorable series, but we just don’t have a lot of time to remember it.” -David Adelman

David Adelman said it feels good to win it, but he was quick to point out that OKC is next. He said this series wasn’t the championship, although it might have felt like that because of how close and tight this series was.

Denver wins it 120-101 to take the series 4-3 and advance to for second round against OKC. Here are some scenes from the court after the final buzzer. https://t.co/NTcnd8tDYm
