Is Thunder dangerous? Jokic has a halo and has never lost to Tianwang Mountain in his career!

On May 12, the NBA playoffs continued to stage a focus battle, with the Denver Nuggets facing the young powerhouse Oklahoma City Thunder at home on the plateau. But the result was a little surprising. The Nuggets failed to defend the fruits of victory in front of their own goal and eventually lost to the Thunder 87-92. The big score in the series was tied 2-2, and both sides returned to the same starting line again.

Looking back at this game, a typical youth storm challenged the old strong team. The Thunder, who was all soldiers, was full of vitality. Although the shooting status of both sides was greatly affected by high intensity, the two teams had 41 three-pointers in 10 and 45 respectively, the Thunder, with better rotation depth, obviously had an advantage in this fierce battle. At the critical moment, Wiggins, Wallace and others stood up and scored one after another to establish a lead for the team.

The team scored five players in double digits, and Alexander scored 25 points, 6 rebounds and 6 assists, which was the highest in the team. However, several shooting choices at critical moments almost caused the team to lose. As a young player, there is still room for growth in the control of the game.

In contrast, the Nuggets, who played at home, felt cold at the beginning, made 2 of 22 shots in the first quarter and 0 of 14 three-pointers, scoring only 8 points, breaking the single-quarter score record for the playoffs in one fell swoop. After the game, the center Jokic still made steady output, contributing the team's most 27 points and 13 rebounds, but his overall condition was a little tired. He failed to score free throws at critical moments, and eventually missed the opportunity to get the match point at home.

The series is now tied 2-2. According to the schedule, both sides will usher in the fifth game of Tianwang Mountain on May 14, and the game will be moved to the Thunder home court.

For Denver, they have a little peace of mind:

According to statistics, as of now, Jokic has played in a total of 6 battles in his NBA career, and his final record is a win in all 6 games.

Looking back on these six battles in Tianwangshan, Jokic successfully led the team to win every battle in Tianwangshan, which is the first round in 2019, the second round in 2021, the second round in 2023, the second round in 2024, and the first round in 2025. This is the value of a superstar.

Now, the key battle between the two teams is about to begin. On one hand, there is the thunder with youthful vitality and superb running and jumping ability, and on the other hand, there is the Nuggets with championship experience and mature tactical system. For Jokic, can he continue to maintain his unbeaten record this season? Can the Nuggets reverse and turn the tables again away?

The answer is revealed soon. Let's wait and see.
