The Denver Nuggets continue to defy the odds in the playoffs, now leading 2-1 against the Oklahoma City Thunder after a surprising Game 3 win, despite Nikola Jokić's off-night. Jokić shot just 8 of 25, yet the supporting cast, including Michael Porter Jr. with 21 points and Jamal Murray with 27, stepped up, showcasing the Nuggets' resilience.

The Thunder, who dominated earlier in the series, saw Shai Gilgeous-Alexander struggle with only 18 points on 22 attempts. Meanwhile, Jalen Williams shone brightly with a career-high 32 points, but it wasn't enough to match Denver's balanced attack.

Game 4 looms on Sunday, where both teams will need to adjust their strategies. The Nuggets will aim to maintain their momentum, while the Thunder must find ways to enhance their offensive flow, particularly with Jokić and Gilgeous-Alexander's performances hanging in the balance.
