Nuggets Take 2-1 Series Lead Over Thunder With Overtime Win

In a thrilling Game 3 of the NBA playoffs, the Denver Nuggets secured a vital overtime victory against the Oklahoma City Thunder, taking a 2-1 lead in the series. Key contributions came from Jamal Murray and Aaron Gordon, with Murray playing the hero and Gordon hitting a game-tying three-pointer. Despite a strong performance from Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, who scored 34 points, the Thunder struggled in overtime, ultimately falling to the Nuggets 113-104. This win allowed Denver to bounce back after a disappointing blowout in Game 2, and they showed resilience as other stars stepped up alongside Nikola Jokić, who had a quieter game than usual. The series continues with Game 4 on the horizon.
