On May 17, the NBA playoffs continued. In the current Western Conference semi-finals, the Thunder tied 3-3 with the Nuggets, and the two teams will usher in a tiebreak battle next Monday.

In yesterday's game, the Thunder lost to the Nuggets 107-119 away. The Thunder did not perform well in this game. They did not start well and failed to withstand the opponent's offense in the final quarter. The team's No. 2 scorer Jaylen Williams even scored only 6 points in 3 of 16 shots in the game. However, after the Thunder returned to Oxford City on a special plane, they still received a large number of Thunder fans in the middle of the night, and the fans expressed their support to the team.

The team's star Alexander will undoubtedly be a key figure. It should be noted that this will be the first time Alexander has ushered in a tiebreak battle in his career. Alexander said to this: "It will be very interesting. It will be the most intense basketball game you have ever played, but at the same time, it is still just basketball. You have to walk on the court, enjoy the game, play freely, and let the results go naturally. It's a fight. This is what you fight for, and the goal you work for throughout your life. Either the dream continues or the dream ends. So we have to go all out and accept the results calmly. Of course I'm excited about this opportunity."

When talking about why the team's G6 failed, Alexander said: "To be honest, I'm not sure. But it feels pretty good. Our tactical intentions are right. I can only give you a more accurate answer after watching the game video. Because it's really hard to judge on the court, especially when evaluating the strength of the defensive in the pick-and-roll process. But yes, I think our direction is right. As I said, the problem lies more on the defensive end, and we did have loopholes at the beginning."

Interestingly, in the match between the Thunder and the Nuggets this season, the two teams played 2-2 in the regular season and 3-3 in the playoffs, which is enough to show how small the gap in strength between the two teams is. Can Alexander lead the team to advance to the Western Conference Finals the day after tomorrow? Let's wait and see!
