Denver Nuggets vs Oklahoma City Thunder Full Highlights 3rd Qtr | May 18 | 2025 NBA Highlights

Number 11, you’ve got Aaron Gordon that is a bad hamstring and he has scored more points in that first half than those two starters. They need them to play, but not only just show up. They need to show up big now because of the deficit. Meanwhile, Alex Caruso getting the start here in the second half. Murray turns it over. There was contact there. Gildus Alexander goes down and an easy bucket. David Adaman not happy. Jamal Murray not happy. A physical defense from OKC. They’ve been wearing opponents down all season and this the largest lead by either team. Gordon amazingly played 18 minutes. You can see that hamstring bottom and an offensive foul [Music] [Applause] called. Williams goes right at Porter. Stops, pulls up, jump shot is good. Talk about a bounce back. Three for 16 in game six. He’s nine for 13 already here in game [Music] seven. Murray trying to get on track. Can’t get it to fall. Gildas Alexander tips it right to Gordon trying to poke it away and a reaching foul on Dort. 0 for three from downtown. A 20-point lead. The Thunder right now in control. SGA connects on a three. Denver Nuggets are 4 for 21 for three. Yeah, OKC is 6 for 22, but that 4 for 21 affects the Denver Nuggets far more. And the second field goal for Michael Porter, but DB, the reason why they’re loading up is because nobody else offensively is making them pay for not loading up. Brown trying to harass Williams. Russo has had quite the defensive game once again impacts without touching the ball without having to score. Those are the players that they needed to have around this core unit in OKC. Five on the 24. Homegruso banks it home. That’s just beautiful basketball to [Applause] watch. [Applause] Gordon. Nice back door cut and Christian Brown able to throw it down. 14 points for Brown. Still so much time remaining. Denver looking to just slowly chip away. Do it inside and a foul to borrow. Don’t worry about those things. [Music] DB connects. Six points for Dort. 22-point lead for the Thunder. This starting five for Denver been terrific all season long, but they’ve got themselves in a huge hole on the road. Murray fires away, gets that to go. Murray’s been quiet. And again, Murray is still he’s been dealing with the flu. What he did the other night was incredible considering how sick he was. He’s still not better out there as Stay Williams lines it up. That one’s short. Deflected taken by [Applause] Gordon and Russo overly aggressive. Hawkstein now Joic saying, “Give me the ball.” Joic fires it out to Porter. Porter off the bounce, gets inside. Murray with six to shoot. Launches his shot. Rebound. Hartstein knocked out of his hand. Williams looking back up top. Nuggets in that zone once again. It was working early as Williams misses badly. Gil Alexander saves it, but Porter has it. One man to beat. It’s Wallace gets by him and throws it down. Hopefully that’s something that can get Michael Porter Jr. going. Getting the bucket. Still is 0 for three from three. It’s obviously that shoulder has been bothering him. Jaylen Williams inside. Hartstein gets to the ball. packs it home. Good ball movement once again. 18 assist door scores for them. Yeah, and I like that Jaylen didn’t settle for the three. It’s abandoned him the last couple possessions. Touch the paint and continue. They’ve had so much success attacking the back line. Murray short. Brown the rebound. Murray the drives. Tupav rolls around and drops in. Murray a couple of buckets here in the third. 17-point game. SGA with the left hand fight for the rebound. Gordon Gordon’s got 11 rebounds playing on a hamstring that any other circumstance but at game seven he’s not out there. Pass deflected. Stolen. Jayen Williams got the second deflection. SGA drives in and lays it out off the glass. [Applause] [Music] 21 points for Shay Kildress Alexander. Joic to Porter and Porter rattles in and out. That one halfway down. Here’s Wallace goes it. Oh, he throws it down. You got to engage it. Same thing. The way they’re playing down there, we got to play the same way down here. Bottom line, you’re back in the game. That was a couple of timeouts ago as Brown draws the foul. Denver and Malone the winningest coach in franchise history. You take over for somebody who he works so closely. It’s not an easy thing. He has done a phenomenal job in a difficult situation. The way he’s comported himself, coached this guy has tried to put him in a position to make them successful and never one time made it about himself. Never one time. How about that? A bang shot from the corner off the glass. Kase Wallace with a couple of highlight buckets here in the third. Murray steps back. Can’t get that to fall. Christian Brown to Gordon. Gordon corner three. And Wiggins tracks it down. We’re past the midway point of the third. Williams goes to the rim. Layup won’t go. And Joic comes the other way. Excellent lead pass and Brown quickly scores. Christian Brown, one of the best break players in this league. But Joic gets the rebound. One dribble, throws it up. Every great assist man knows the importance of that throw ahead. SGA inside to Wallace. Hawkstein the lefty [Applause] loft. Murray kicks it out. Westbrook tries a corner three. That’s good. Russell Westbrook with his second three-pointer. [Music] Still so much time remaining. Just under five remaining. Third quarter. Largest lead has been 23. On to the Eastern Conference Finals. A 23-point outing so far for SGAA. A 22-point lead for OKC. The problem as much as you said it, Mike, the turnovers. But it’s not just Yic. It’s not Jamal. They have six players with two or more turnovers. Collectively as a team, they are turning the ball over at a rate that just can’t happen in a game. Seven. Westbrook misses. Shirley Williams gets pass. Goes inside. Wiggins tries a three. Williams tips it out. Alexander walked that shot off the mark as Joic gets it. Alexander just kind of flipped it up there. Little heat check. leans in Arkansas Alexander 2.0 won’t go. Brown the rebound. Brown. Oh, nice side step and draws the foul on Wiggins.

  1. The D on Jokic by Dort and Caruso is top notch Murray AG KPJr CB they all need to help him and put up shots …

  2. Well deserved better team. Good luck, OKC! Nuggets—hope u change ur bench roster and a couple of main players for next season. Jokic can only do so much.

  3. OKC Got's a GOOD FAN BASE. they got on all blue, Why can't LAKERS FANS get Like THiS, Next season LAKERS FAN'S SHOULD BE handed OUT FREE Purple SHiRT'S in THE PLAYOFF's.

  4. What I not understand is that they let Nikola Jokić throw elbows all year and sit in the paint and push people when they come in and they never call him for it. What is really going on with the Denver Nuggets and just letting them get away with murder…. They better not be setting up games like they used to telling the refs not to call fouls on certain people, and to call fouls on others

  5. Emotionally I’m rooting for the underdog Denver, but they’re hurt and exhausted and probably wouldn’t do well in the next round anyway. OKC is a better team and will give a better series against the Wolves, who have had the easiest and luckiest road so far of all the teams left, beating a fatally flawed and media-hyped Lakers (if you talk to real fans, very few of thought Lakers were “legit”) and a similarly hyped and flawed Warriors (smaller than even Lakers and even older, without a backup point guard!) that lost its center of gravity in Curry.

  6. This was disgusting 😂 nba office has a clear favourite team, reminds me of how the lakers were officiated with Kobe and Shaq

  7. Not even one minute into the qtr, two terrible no calls, then a worse foul call on Gordon.
    The league has its new darling.
