On May 19, the NBA Western Conference semi-finals tiebreak started, and the Thunder played against the Nuggets at home. In this game, Gordon played with an injury. The Nuggets were in high morale and once established an 11-point lead. However, the team was in trouble later. The Thunder counterattacked wildly in the second quarter, with a net victory of 19 points in a single quarter, while the Nuggets were completely passive and collapsed directly in the second half, falling behind by as much as 43 points, and the game also lost suspense early. In the end, the Thunder defeated the Nuggets 125-93 and advanced to the Western Conference Finals 4-3.

Neither team has a way out in this game, and it is a decisive battle to determine the outcome. Gordon even came on the court with a second-degree hamstring strain. The Nuggets had a good start, and once led 21-10. Unfortunately, they failed to continue their momentum. The role players were completely unable to help. The Thunder made continuous counterattacks and took the initiative, and had already scored 14 points in the first half. In the second half, the Thunder was in a state of great momentum, and a wave of offensives directly widened the gap to more than 30 points. The game also lost its suspense early and finally won a 32-point victory. The 32-point victory also refreshed the score difference in the Thunder tiebreak battle. They played very strongly in this game. Although they fell into a passive position in the first quarter, they later regained their state, used counterattacks to score points, successfully overturned the score and began to take the initiative. The current strong performance, coupled with the cheers of fans, has also made the Nuggets lose themselves on the court and cannot keep up with the rhythm at all. They can only watch the score gap be widened and eventually surrender early.

Watching the home team's strong performance, home fans also fell into a carnival early, and the Thunder reached the Western Conference Finals again after 9 years. The last time was led by Durant and Westbrook, but now it has become Alexander and Jaylen Williams. After the game, Alexander and Westbrook also hugged each other, and both sides were in a good mood, which was also a dialogue between the new and old kings of the Thunder.
