The West is about to lose again! 63-43, the Nuggets have an advantage and become a magic weapon to win

The Nuggets, who had only two days off, won the first game away against the powerful Thunder. This ending is indeed a bit surprising. Even during the game, the Nuggets experienced a physical crisis, but Jokic's MVP strength this season is really not achieved by making it. At the beginning of the game, the Nuggets turned away. Murray scored consecutively, and once widened the score to double digits. However, in the connection, the Nuggets also exposed the problem of lineup depth, and then the Nuggets were suppressed by the Thunder to reach a critical moment in the fourth quarter. But at the critical moment, Jokic's sudden explosion made the Thunder a little unbearable. Coupled with the tactical mistakes of the Thunder head coach at the critical moment, he was eventually reversed by the Nuggets.

In this game, the Thunder highlighted the problems of the playoffs last season. Although Harten strengthened this season, facing the league's No. 1 center Jokic, the Thunder highlighted the problems of the inside. Neither Harten nor Chet could withstand Jokic's attack. In the whole game, Jokic scored a large double-double with 42 points and 22 rebounds, and the Thunder's two inside players combined was only half Jokic.

In addition to Jokic, the Thunder have a physical disadvantage against the Nuggets in each position. In the whole game, the Nuggets led the Thunder 20 in rebounds 63 to 43. This is why the Nuggets made so many mistakes and were able to reverse the Thunder in a bad outside shooting. The advantage of rebounding is really too great. The Nuggets' body shape advantage will become a winning factor in this round of the series. If Harten and Chett cannot withstand the impact of Jokic and Gordon, the Thunder may be dead again!
