With less than 30 seconds left in regulation, Gordon hit a 3 to tie the Denver Nuggets with the Oklahoma Thunder and send Game 3 into OT.

The Oklahoma City Thunder took a 3-2 series lead over the Denver Nuggets with a thrilling 112-105 win in Game 5 of their second-round NBA playoff series on Tuesday night. It's the first lead in the series for the Thunder, the West's No. 1 seed who now will have the chance to win the series in Game 6 in Denver on Thursday night.

Nikola Jokić lived up to his nickname on Friday, arriving at the Ball Arena wearing a Joker-inspired purple and green suit before helping the Denver Nuggets to a dramatic, overtime 113-104 win over the Oklahoma City Thunder in Game 3 of their playoff series.

Oklahoma City Thunder star Shai Gilgeous-Alexander took the blame for his team's overtime loss to the Nuggets in Game 3

The Thunder's offense dried up in their 113-104 Game 3 overtime loss to the Nuggets on Friday. They scored 21 points in the fourth quarter and overtime. This included just two points in the OT session that Aaron Gordon forced with a game-tying corner 3-pointer.

Gilgeous-Alexander led Oklahoma City with 25 points, 6 rebounds, 6 assists and 2 steals. Nikola Jokić posted 27 points, 13 rebounds, 3 assists and 4 steals in the losing effort. He shot 7 of 22 from the field, and Oklahoma City's stifling defense continued to fluster him.

After Denver lost to OKC 92–87, Adelman referred to the game as a "really disgusting basketball game," per Romi Bean of CBS News Colorado. Though the Nuggets held the lead for a good chunk of the second half, that didn't take away from what was a heavily flawed performance from both teams.

The Denver Nuggets bounced back from a 43-point loss with a gritty 113-104 overtime win over the top-seeded Thunder in Game 3, leaning on their playoff experience and home crowd. Jamal Murray led with 27 points, Aaron Gordon added 22, and a hobbled Michael Porter Jr. chipped in 21 in his best outing since injuring his shoulder.
