The Thunder had a chance to close on the road but suffered a 119-107 Game 6 loss. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander stepped up for 32 points, but the rest of the squad struggled to show up. Most notably, Jalen Williams with six points on 3-of-16 shooting.

Julian Strawther delivered 15 points off the bench, helping guide the Nuggets to another must-win scenario. This has been a back and forth series. The Thunder still remain the NBA title favorites at this point of the season. However, that should offer a mental boost to the Nuggets.

Jamal Murray played through an illness to score 25 points as the Nuggets beat the Thunder 119-107 Thursday night in Game 6 of the Western Conference semifinals at Ball Arena in Denver.
