The Denver Nuggets won Game 6 vs. the Oklahoma City Thunder on Thursday night 119–107 to force Game 7 in the Western Conference semifinals. And, part of the win was thanks to Julian Strawther erupting off of the Nuggets bench.

Strawther played 20 minutes in Game 6 and posted 15 points with three three-pointers made, more than any of the Thunder players. His 15 points were all scored in the second half after he was 0 for 1 in the first. Before Thursday night, Strawther had scored 17 points total across his seven postseason games played this year. He really stepped up on Thursday in order to keep the Nuggets alive in the playoffs.
