The top-seeded Oklahoma City Thunder have the series lead against the Denver Nuggets for the first time. OKC is up 3-2 after a Game 5 win earlier this week. The Thunder will now try to knock Nikola Jokić and the Nuggets out of the NBA playoff bracket in Thursday's Game 6.

For the Thunder to win Game 7 on Sunday, for it to go all the way, it needs more consistent play out of its second All-Star.

Nikola Jokic refused to let this happen. The three-time NBA MVP willed his team to a 119-107 victory with another incredible performance, registering a team-high 29 points on 9-of-14 shooting, 14 rebounds, eight assists, two steals, a block and one triple in 41 minutes of action.
