The Nuggets' superstar point guard, Nikola Jokic, missed the game due to a sprained ankle he suffered in game 63. Despite this setback, the Nuggets were able to win against the Oklahoma City Thunder, avenging their predecessors with a score of 95-102. This win forces a game 7, with the Nuggets hoping to close out the series at home.

The Thunder outperformed the Nuggets for most of the game, with their star player, Shai Gilgeous Alexander, leading the team to a 8-point lead in the 3rd quarter.

However, the Nuggets refused to go down without a fight, trimming the lead to 2 points with 2 minutes remaining. With seconds remaining, and the score at 101-102, Michael Porter Jr. made a 3-point play that gave the Nuggets the lead and the eventual win.

This victory was a massive triumph for the Nuggets, who have had a challenging season due to injuries to key players such as Jamal Murray and Michael Porter Jr. With the chance to close out the series at home, the Nuggets will look to continue their newfound momentum.
