The top-seeded Oklahoma City Thunder have the series lead against the Denver Nuggets for the first time. OKC is up 3-2 after a Game 5 win earlier this week. The Thunder will now try to knock Nikola Jokić and the Nuggets out of the NBA playoff bracket in Thursday's Game 6.

Denver Nuggets superstar Nikola Jokic has become well known for dropping off the map during the NBA offseason, usually opting for drama-free summers with his horses in Serbia.

“It’s do or die,” Shai Gilgeous-Alexander said after OKC’s loss at Denver in Game 6. “It’s what you live for, what you work your whole life for. Either your dream continues or your dream ends, so you leave it all out there on the floor and live with the results.”

Denver was severely hampered by that seventh semifinal contest, with starting forwards Michael Porter Jr. and Aaron Gordon striving to play through major injuries.
