The Oklahoma City Thunder were able to survive Game 5 on Tuesday night against the Denver Nuggets to move one win away from the Western Conference finals. They needed contributions from everyone who saw the court in order to swing the pivotal matchup against an inspired Nikola Jokic. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander delivered the knockout blow with a clutch three-pointer to move the Thunder's advantage to six points with 48 minutes, which came on the heels of an ice-cold triple from Jalen Wiliams. Lu Dort was also enormous for the cause, knocking down a handful of treys during crunch time.
Gilgeous-Alexander spoke to the total team effort from Oklahoma City and the belief they all have in each other during a postgame interview with TNT's Stephanie Ready.
