The stage was set for a dramatic bit of basketball action on Sunday, with the Oklahoma City Thunder hosting the Denver Nuggets in Game 7 of the Western Conference semifinals. The winner would move on to the conference finals, the loser would be heading home.
Early in the game, it looked like we might get an instant classic. Aaron Gordon was playing through an injury, the Thunder crowd was electric and the Nuggets were able to jump out to an early lead that appeared to show they would not be going down easy.
