They weren't that thin for the Denver Nuggets. They were as thick as Nikola Jokić. The best player in the world had the 68-win Thunder on the ropes multiple times. Jokić outplayed presumptive MVP Shai Gilgeous-Alexander in a second-round series that went seven games but ended in an OKC blowout.

Nikola Jokic and the Denver Nuggets won the 2023 championship against the Miami Heat in five games. Many thought the next NBA dynasty was upon us. However, the Nuggets lost to the Minnesota Timberwolves in the second round of the 2024 playoffs in seven games and fell to the Oklahoma City Thunder in the second round of this year's playoffs in seven games.

Nikola Jokic on whether the Nuggets can win another championship as constructed: “We didn’t, so obviously we can’t. If we could, we would win it. I don’t believe in those ifs

In the end it was a 125-93 OKC win that puts the Thunder through to the Western Conference Finals, taking the series 4-3. Minnesota will be in Oklahoma City on Tuesday night to open the West finals.

The Denver Nuggets take on the Oklahoma City Thunder in Game 7 of their second-round NBA Playoffs match-up at Paycom Center in Oklahoma City on Sunday, May 18, 2025.
