The Thunder rested for 8 days, the Nuggets only 1 day, Gordon s winning goal proves that the Nuggets are a strong contender for the championship

If the Denver Nuggets have not attracted everyone's attention when they entered the second round of the NBA playoffs, they must have done it now. After seven tough games with the Clippers, the Nuggets barely survived that series and faced the title-winning favorite Oklahoma City Thunder in the second round.

The Thunders were unstoppable in the regular season, leading 16 games with a 68 win and 14 losses, winning the Western Conference Championship. After sweeping the Grizzlies easily in the first round, the Thunder took eight days off to watch the fierce competition between the Denver Nuggets and the Los Angeles Clippers for a playoff spot. The Nuggets eventually won the series, but they were scarred, exhausted, injured and had a day off before they faced a reversal before they had a day off before they were away to Oklahoma City on Monday night.

This seems like an impossible ending for a team that is experienced, lacks lineup depth, and has just stepped out of the joy of the seventh game victory. They have to face a young, eager to win, well-trained team, and their home audience is one of the best teams in the NBA.

Nuggets demonstrated their determination to win the championship with their first victory

, but the Nuggets demonstrated their determination to win the championship. They did not give up this game that they should not have won, but fought to the end and finally got a 14-point lead at the last moment.

With 9.5 seconds left in the game, Chet Homgren missed two free throws, Christian Braun grabbed the rebound and passed the ball to Russell Westbrook, Westbrook dribbled and passed it to Aaron Gordon, who scored a three-pointer and hit the heart of the Thunder.

It was an incredible reversal and an incredible victory, with the outstanding performances of Gordon, Westbrook and Nikola Jokic, among others, boosting the incredible victory, in which they scored an astonishing 42 points and 22 rebounds. The Nuggets declare themselves a championship contender, even with the victory, Denver is still a long way from winning the series, but they have already made a better start. The Nuggets announced that despite the team's lineup, and the management underwent a major change in its blood last month, the team's goal is to win the championship.

They obviously showed their confidence in themselves through their performance Monday night, coming to Oklahoma City and winning such a game will have more people who believe in their position as champion contenders.
