Denver has won the close games in this series, and made a furious comeback late in Game 1 to steal a game on the road. The Thunder won Game 2 by 43 points, but the Nuggets then won in overtime in Game 3 on Friday to re-take the series lead.

Game 4: Boston at New York (Monday, 7:30 p.m. ET) Game 4: Minnesota at Golden State (Monday, 10 p.m. ET) The Thunder outlasted the Nuggets in one of the toughest shooting games either team will ever go through. The two teams combined for just 25 points in the first quarter and each team shot 25 percent or worse from three-point range.

Gilgeous-Alexander led Oklahoma City with 25 points, 6 rebounds, 6 assists and 2 steals. Nikola Jokić posted 27 points, 13 rebounds, 3 assists and 4 steals in the losing effort. He shot 7 of 22 from the field, and Oklahoma City's stifling defense continued to fluster him.
