In the NBA playoff G4 at 3:30 am on May 12, the Nuggets lost to the Thunder at home 87:92, and were tied to 2:2 in the series.
The Nuggets' offensive problems in the early stages of the game are relatively serious. Their scored only 8 points in the first quarter, and this inefficient performance left the team passive in the game. The team's offensive organization seems to be not smooth enough, and the cooperation between players has failed to form an effective offensive threat. At this stage, the Thunder performed well on both offense and defense, and used the Nuggets' offensive mistakes to continuously expand the score gap. The Nuggets failed to make timely adjustments, which led to them being 9 points behind in the beginning, which put a lot of pressure on their subsequent pursuit.
Although the Nuggets adjusted in the second half and successfully overtook the score, the Nuggets only scored 18 points in the fourth quarter, obviously failing to perform at their due level. Although they were leading for a while, the team's mistakes at critical moments and their low offensive efficiency made them unable to maintain this lead. In contrast, the Thunder showed strong offensive ability in the final quarter and finally achieved a reversal through a series of precise offensive methods. The Nuggets failed to hold on at the most critical moment and eventually lost regretfully. In the Thunder, Alexander's scoring at critical moments helped the team remain competitive and led the team to overtake the score through personal abilities in the final stage of the game. Especially at the end of the game, his key score became an important factor in the team's victory. In addition, Thunder's substitutes Wiggins and Wallace also contributed important points to the team. The two contributed 22 points and 11 rebounds together, providing stable support to the Thunder on the court. Especially in the final quarter, Wiggins and Wallace's performance played a crucial role in the team's reversal.
Wiggins has a very high three-point shooting percentage, and he demonstrated accurate long-range shooting ability in the game, which provides strong outside support for the Thunder. At the same time, Wallace's rebounding ability greatly helped the Thunder control the pace of the game, providing a second offensive opportunity for the team's offense. The outstanding performance of the two substitutes allowed the Thunder to take advantage of the situation to reverse the situation at the last moment and ultimately helped the team win.
Nuggets Although Jokic scored excellent 27 points and 13 rebounds in the game, he had a low shooting percentage and failed to fully play his attack threat. The Nuggets appear relatively single on the offensive end and rely too much on Jokic's personal abilities, which leads to the team's failure to effectively create space when facing the Thunder's defense. At the same time, Murray and Braun failed to contribute enough points in the game, further exacerbating the Nuggets' offensive difficulties.
The Nuggets will lose their home advantage in the battle of Tianwang Mountain, and the Thunder may take this opportunity to further strengthen their morale and overtake the score. This game will become a key battle in the series and determine the fate of the two teams. If the Nuggets want to regain the pace of victory, they must solve the problem of inefficiency on the offensive end and make corresponding adjustments to the defense. Otherwise, the Thunder may take the opportunity to overtake and take away the victory of the series.
