Denver Nuggets vs. Oklahoma City Thunder | Full Game 3 Highlights 📺 | 2025 NBA Playoffs

Inside to Hardenstein. Nice cut by Dor. Five on the shot clock for Gilis Alexander. Got by Joic and had it knocked away. But his job in this game is really going to be defensively to keep a body on Joic all game long. Jamal Murray has to feel good about that first jumper going through. They want to get they want to beat this Denver defense down the floor as often as possible. They have a little bit more depth. And you talk about a guy that needs to see the basketball go through the rim for the Thunder to start this game. That’s kind of counterintuitive against his own defense, isn’t it? Being able to get in the paint that much. No, you want to get it into the paint to collapse the defense, then kick it out. Denver down by six, just underway here. Approaching the midway point. Murray over SGA3 with 15 on the clock. Well, Jamal Murray, Jaylen Williams, guarding Nicole Joic. That puts Homegrren behind with that length. Tough shot by Yic. Get that lift on the shot. He is so difficult to defend especially in the mid-range and by Jaylen Williams who was such an outstanding playmaker at Santa Clara. Sam Presky actually saw him when he was scouting Chad Homer. Wow. For the Thunder. That’s the end of the first quarter here in Denver. We’ll be back with more after this. He has Cavs Pacers game four as Cleveland got on the board in that series with a big performance from Donovan Mitchell. Good block underneath by Jamal Murray defensively. Westbrook against Caruso. Nice cut by Porter Jr. in traffic. Able to finish. Boy, it’s been a different ball game so far for him off 18 points a game. He’s a solid rebounder and shot his best percentage of his young career. Shot 50% from the field on the season. Great anticipation and room service for Russ below the three-point line and just did a great job of shooting the gap and the Thunder with the offensive rebound. Here’s Williams. Well, that was a great job by Alex Caruso. And that’s going to be a foul against OKC. Westbrook would have taken that the other way for an easy one. There’s a reason why Joic lobbyed the front office to acquire Westbrook during the offseason. Gordon rattles home a three. Murray picked up his dribble. Seven on the shot clock. Back out to Porter Jr. over Williams. Yes. is five of five from the field in this game. And it’s not like these shots are easy. I mean, talk about a contested three. Jaylen Williams was draped all over him. Surprised you could even see the basket. Westbrook got it. Murray got a couple of staggered screens. Crosscourt skip pass. Watson for three. Got it. And Denver with a one-point advantage. Chef Homegrren just walts down Main Street for that bucket. He’s got 13 points in the ball game. Porter off the wide action over Williams again. That jumper is wet. Jaylen Williams right on him. And this one wasn’t easy either. Fading away. He scored seven of the last nine points. Gordon back in the ball game. Feeds it to the corner. Brown cashes out. And Hardenstein’s going to keep his body on Jokic this entire possession. Good fake. Good show and go. Joic got it to fall by Nicoolola Joic. He gets the ball up, but he keeps his body down and that lifts up Isaiah Hartenstein and allows Joic to go by. Just keeps his eyes on the rim. Never took his eyes off the rim because Williams knocked it away from Michael Porter Jr. That’s where that shoulder’s a problem. His rebound. Dor on the drive. Got back tapped by Murray for the steal. Seven-point lead for the Thunder. Murray Dor stayed down on the fake. Tough bucket by Jamal Murray. See Rocky was rocking the building early before tip off and Jamal Murray got out of the gate. They made some really tough shots. Michael Porter Jr. Jamal Murray, but Oklahoma City had a lot of easy shots. 34 to 12 points in the paint. And Y which knocks down his first field goal attempt. Brown initiating the offense on the handback. Great contest, but a better shot by Brown. He goes slow to fast as well as any player in the league. And those chest down drives, they’re tough to deal with. Gordon tried to bully his way to the bucket. Brown from outside. Cash strength and his playmaking ability. I mean, watching him at Santa Cl just showed so much as a passer playmaker. Murray with the three. He told me it’s because he’s not lifting as much as he usually does at this time of the year. He’s a little bit lighter, but very fluid. Homegrren got his own miss. Almost toward the first one to the loose ball. Oklahoma City does a magnificent job. One with their ball. It all starts with their ball pressure, but you can only put ball pressure on if you got confidence in your health. And they’re right there in gaps and they rotate so well. Gildas Alexander with the miss. Gordon walks into the three. Coach Steven Graham has worked assiduously with him all season long on narrowing the base of his shot and it’s led to Gordon shooting 43%. Best on ball defenders that you’ll find. Joic inside missing again. Got his own rebound and got the second one to go. Use that right arm to ward off the defender and another bucket in the paint for the Thunder. Boy, Porter Jr. has it stuck on automatic. Make it four of 21 now. Joic attempting a rim run. Westbrook over to Murray. What a good job by Jaylen Williams to get in his way and Denver has the lead. What a pick up Caruso was from Chicago. Huge Porter Jr. for three. Way strong. Yic with the offensive rebound. Gordon [Applause] inside. Murray inside. Throws a circus shot. Wow. Jamal Murray with some magic. The playoffs can be about shot makers and Jamal Murray very the degree of difficulty of Denver shots tonight. Oh, and Watson put in the friend zone and the lead is up to five with under a minute to go. Jaylen Williams, as you pointed out, giving the Thunder valuable minutes. Here’s Pton Watson from deep. He’s committed seven turnovers so far in this one. Homegrren with the show and go. Got ripped by [Applause] Russbrook. Got it to Murray in this game. Jordan around the screen by Murray. Brown picks it out to Westbrook. He’s been great from the corner and it’s noted at 83. On Murray, seven on the shot clock. Gordon with the screen. Wallace got back to Murray for the contest. It didn’t matter, but he gets great lift on that shot on the tween cross. Williams inside couldn’t finish. Well, he took a bump from Aaron Gordon. Gordon on the wing against Homegrren. Good help by Williams. And Gordon got it the ball. Gordon with the handoff. Working off the bounce with 10 on the clock. That three is reliable so he can get some reps in at night. Dave. Yeah. It’s not just that he has a gym, he uses it. Joker with the steal. Gordon pass to all of the drama and there’s a lot of it. Pocket pass to Yic. Got it. Oh, you play that twoman game in the middle of the floor with Nicole Yic. If you get past Chad Homegrren, you got a teammate right there from the dunker spot. Homegrren had it blocked. Got it back. Seven on the clock on the pick and pop. SGA pops out. Williams misses. Hardenstein couldn’t get the rebound. Williams blocked by Brown. Hardenstein missed the put back. Loose ball. Gordon controls. Murray behind the yogic screen. Hardenstein switches on to a Murray. Mix them and got it on the pick and pop. Williams torque for the lead. That’s way strong. Loose ball out to Gilis Alexander. No on the mid-range short again. Murray retrieves the loose [Applause] ball. Wide open. Gordon for the tie. Got it. PJ. Well, he’s made so many big plays in these playoffs, but none bigger than that shot to tie this game. 20 points for Aaron Gordon. Really with a smaller lineup. Caruso having to guard Aaron Gordon. Yic rips through to his left. Left it on the rim and then it fell. Denver up two to start the overtime. This Nuggets team has been in this situation many times before. Murray rejects the screen. Good pass. Porter Jr. for three. Porter. Mark Denov going back with that two big lineup getting home. Brings back in the game. Murray switched on to Williams. Good help by Porter Jr. who knocked it away. Murray around the world inside. What a finish. Has made so many tough shots. But Jaylen Williams just going right into four Denver defenders. Gets the ball knocked away and then Murray going behind his back and another beautiful finish at the basket. These are not easy shots that he’s hitting throughout the course of this game. Hardenstein got it back and Murray got there first. That’s twice now that Hardenstein has missed from in close. Got hit by that Joker screen. Joic with the floater. Got it. Well, Jamal Murray has made some huge plays in this game. in the terrific. OKC has one foul to give. Gordon dagger. Williams partially blocked by Watson. And it’s elementary Watson at this time.
