It's been more difficult than expected, but the Oklahoma City Thunder are a win away from surviving the Denver Nuggets.
12-105The owners of the top record in the NBA this season erased a double-digit lead in Game 5 to win 1 and take a 3-2 lead in their second-round series. Game 6 is scheduled for Thursday (8:30 p.m. ET, ESPN).
If there was a performance that won the game for OKC, it was Shai Gilgeous-Alexander with 31 points on 12-of-23 shooting with seven assists, six rebounds, two steals and two blocks.
If it was a stretch that won it, look no further than Lu Dort's three straight 3-pointers in the fourth quarter.
