Denver Nuggets vs. Oklahoma City Thunder Full Highlights 4th Qtr | May 7 | 2025 NBA Highlights

and off the court and it all shows and how they get the separation in games like tonight. And Stephanie a steal to start the fourth and Watson taking it to the rim for the throw down. Yeah, I think the other part with Mark Dall when we spoke with him prior to the game, he made the point the last thing you want to do is overreact with your club. You’ve done so many great things throughout the year to finish the season with a 68 and 14 record. You breeze through the first round. you don’t overreact and start changing things left and right because you lost just before the buzzer in game one. Yeah, I love that you brought that up and that was a great point on his part. Look, he said there are things that they can improve upon, things they can do better, but not change who you are after one game. And I think what they’ve done is is they’ve been able to get back to who they are here in this game. They they needed this. They needed to to have a bounceback performance to show that their style, their philosophy is is, you know, what they’ve had success in the regular season translates here and make a mistake. He took the onus off his players, took the pressure off of them and really just a a sign of leadership and how you manage the ups and downs of the postseason. And uh certainly his guys have responded as a result. And I think he still very much believes in the up three foul philosophy. It’s just when you foul and not giving them so quickly in the You’re right. It was a great game. Great comeback. Gutty performance. Certainly question now is can Denver regroup? Can they go back home and can they find that magic they had in the fourth quarter at home where it’ll be much easier? Kick it out for the Naji jumper and he cans it from long range. We saw Denver do this to the Los Angeles Clippers in game seven of the first round series. And tonight they’re on the receiving end of a route in favor of the Thunder. Here’s Joe one-on-one with Tyson. and Joe nails the J. And you talk about that game seven after six tough games in that Clipper series and at home. It wasn’t the stars that really created the separation in that game and that blowout. It was Christian Brown, it was Aaron Gordon, it was Russell Westbrook. So much easier for the complimentary players when they’re playing at home in the playoffs as opposed to on the road. Kenri Williams will bounce it for Jaylen Williams. Now Mitchell gets a touch. Fend off on Naji. Step through. Mitchell denied. Zeke Naji with the block. Hunter Tyson in his second year out of Clemson. Pickicket doesn’t go. Second year guard from Penn State. Wiggins to Kenrich Williams. He’s fouled by Naji. I I don’t know if Wiggins was passing to Williams, Kendrick Kri Williams or Jaylen Williams as they return back to Denver. And certainly Strawler, I like his aggressiveness right there. Had a three-point play opportunity drive and off the dribble handoff. A nice little push shot in the lane. I think everybody saw around the NBA the video of Yakola Joic during a timeout in game one. very demonstratively talking to his teammates. Joe with a pass inside for Williams working around the perimeter. Mitchell and that’s a travel. So the point being if you’re his leadership is showing that the accountability is there and that the respect level that the team has. Tyson misses from long range the offensive rebound. Slapped away. Turnover Joe give it up. Mitchell can’t a triple. And that just shows you where this Denver team is right now and why Adelman has been such a good fit at the head coaching position replacing Michael Malone who is an NBA champion. He’s been a great fit. so impressed with you meet with him in the meetings and his perspective, how he approaches these matchups and might might have that interim tag removed when it’s all said and done with the way he’s resonated with this team. Just not not having a performance here tonight in game two. His father Rick was a tremendous head coach in the NBA with Portland, Golden State, Sacramento, Houston, and Minnesota. consistent winner. And David obviously takes a great deal from what he learned being around his dad. And when we asked him about it, his dad said, “Oh, he’s in Oregon. He’s watching all the games.” And when it all went down, when he got the job, he called his dad to let him know. And his dad very calmly said, “That sounds like a really good opportunity.” That was a and it’s exactly what David needed to hear in the moment. instead of freaking out, it was like, “Oh, yeah, that’s what it is, so I’ll go do it.” Well, that’s that’s funny, but that’s that’s also David is ready. He’s been around it his whole life and certainly learned from one of the best to ever do it in his father. Wson drive and deuce under seven minutes. And he said those relationships are still very much alive today. Learned a great deal. You know, obviously as you come through the ranks, just being around highly accomplished people doing what you one day want to do. Osmosis pick it. It’s an air ball and a shot clock violation. Some new players have now checked into the game, including Usman Jang for Oklahoma City along with Dylan Jones. and he talked about Shaka Smart, how close he and Shaka Smart are are the coach at Marquette and uh kind of has like a college feel this Oklahoma City team. The way they play, the way they buy in, it’s uh it’s impressive, but that’s what USA basketball does. It brings people together, forms bonds. It’s just a PSA. Yes. We just laid it on a tray for you, didn’t we? Oh, thank you. I appreciate that. Foul called on the inside. Change for Denver as Vlaco Chandar is in for the Nuggets. 556 mark of the fourth and Naji will go to the free throw line. Now in his fifth season in the NBA, they signed him to a substantial deal. Four years, $32 million extra size on the bench. Limited action during the season. TNT is your new home for NASCAR this summer. Tune in to all the action beginning June 28th on TNT and stream on Max. The Pack 12 Freshman of the Year in 2020 at Arizona. One stat in favor of the Nuggets. They have won seven straight playoff series after winning game one. And the scoring continues as Isaiah Joe makes it rain. Chachar and a handoff for Tyson. 525 mark of the fourth. Steel Mitchell upstairs. the stuff and the lead extended for OKC. I mean, everybody just competing, playing hard, up big. I I’d like to see this OKC team practice. I mean, just go at it as Strawther knocks down a three-pointer, but it’s just impressive to see what they’ve done. And you started to see it like two years ago when they didn’t necessarily they maybe a 500 team man as Joe just stays
