The Denver Nuggets are officially out of mulligans. After falling apart in the end of game five, the Nuggets now find themselves down 3-2 to the Oklahoma City Thunder and facing elimination. Nikola Jokic put up an all-time performance in game five but Denver's lack of depth was a problem when he had no help. Meanwhile Shai Gilgeous-Alexander hasn't been as efficient as normal, but still is piling up points and hitting clutch shots.

Nikola Jokic returned to his dominant form, the Denver Nuggets got a big quarter from Jamal Murray, they had a double-digit lead late in the third quarter…and they ended up losing game five against the Oklahoma City Thunder after collapsing in the fourth quarter. Jokic was the only one who scored for a huge stretch in the final frame and that ended up dooming the Nuggets.

The Denver Nuggets didn’t have the energy to take a stranglehold on their series with the Oklahoma City Thunder in game two on Tuesday. In what ended up being a game that set basketball offenses back a generation, the Nuggets ultimately ran out of gas and lost 92-87. That returned homecourt advantage, and the series, to Oklahoma City where the Nuggets will need to win at least one game to put themselves in a position to clinch the series.

The Denver Nuggets had a horrific game two against the Oklahoma City Thunder but they turned the tide in a neck and neck game three that went to overtime. Nikola Jokic had his worst game shooting in a long time but the efforts of Jamal Murray and Aaron Gordon overcame the three time MVP’s poor night and sealed the game in the clutch. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander was held in check and a big night from Jalen Williamns wasn’t enough for OKC.
