Basketball

After the Nuggets defeated the Thunder with a quasi-killing defeat by Gordon, the morale of the Nuggets rose sharply. This victory brought multiple good news to the team. The balance of this round of series has begun to tilt, and multiple good news proved that the Nuggets are the team with a greater probability of winning the series.

The first good news is that the Nuggets have regained their home advantage. When the game comes to the Western Conference semi-finals, home advantage is very critical. First, the home terrain problem of Denver home court has prevented many players from reaching their best form when playing away from Denver. Second, the Nuggets have a high home winning rate this season. Even if both sides draw a big score in the next game, the Nuggets have a chance to return to home court and win two games in a row.

The second good news is that the Nuggets showed the dominance of rebounding in the first game between the two sides, and snatched 20 more rebounds than the Thunder 63:43. Almost everyone in the Nuggets team can grab the board, and the Thunder is a team with a lot of small guards. The gap in rebounding in the first game has become an important factor in the trend of this round of series. If the Thunder cannot adjust in time, once the Nuggets recover their feel, the game will not be played to the last moment.

The third good news is that although the two sides only had one battle, the Nuggets had found the weakness of the Thunder. At first, the Nuggets made too many mistakes and made too many counterattacks to open the score. Once the Nuggets control the mistake, the Thunder suffered a loss in the battle against the position, especially in the face of the Nuggets with stronger and higher forward capabilities, the Thunder's disadvantages were infinitely magnified, and the defects of the Thunder's lineup have been completely exposed. Let's see how Dagenot will adjust.

The fourth good news is that the Nuggets' role players are performing better and better. First of all, Gordon, who has contributed two finals in the past half month. This big heart ability has brought great help to the team. Secondly, Braun scored 11 points and 13 rebounds in the first game. Although he performed 4 of 8 shots on the offensive end, 13 rebounds are enough to prove his role in the team. There is also Westbrook. When Murray felt bad, Westbrook scored 18 points in 7 of 13 shots, sharing the pressure on the offensive end for Jokic. He was not impatient or panicked at the end of the moment, and dealing with the ball very stably. This is the Westbrook needed by the Nuggets.

For a 36-year-old veteran, Westbrook's career will not last long, and the Nuggets are a team with championship experience. If they can defeat the Thunder in this round of series, the Nuggets have the chance to reach the finals, and Westbrook has the hope of winning the first championship ring in his career.
