When it hits G7, the Thunder is in danger...

1. Historical record confirms the title of "Trick Seven Expert"

Since returning to the playoffs in 2019, the Nuggets have played 6 tie Seven (as of 2025), with the most leagues in the same period, and won 4 of them, with a winning rate of about 66.7%.

In the first round of 2019, the Nuggets defeated the Spurs; in 2020, the Nuggets achieved a 1-3 reversal in the first round against the Jazz and the second round against the Clippers, winning three consecutive games to turn the tables, becoming the first team in NBA history to turn the tables 1-3 twice in the same season. This ability to withstand pressure in adversity is extremely rare.

However, in the seventh game of the 2024 Western Conference Semi-Finals, the Nuggets were reversed 90-98 at home by the Timberwolves and missed the Western Conference Finals.

2. The current season's tiebreak performance

first round against the Clippers: Nuggets won 120-101 in G7, and role players such as Braun and Westbrook became the surprises.

3. The "big heart" attribute of key players

Jokic: Averages of 24.3 points, 15.5 rebounds and 7.3 assists in his career tiebreaker, and is called "About G7" by fans. He became the Nuggets's Dinghai Sword.

Murray: He fought many times with injuries and was good at breaking out of life and death (such as G7 against the Clippers scored 10 points in the last quarter of the first round to secure the victory).

4. Team temperament and tactical adaptability

The Nuggets' "slow-paced" style of play has obvious advantages in tiebreak. Through Jokic's high-level support and Murray's pick-and-roll, the opponent's defense line has been gradually collapsed.

The physical distribution and defensive intensity management of short rotations (often 6-7 people) are properly managed, and role players such as Gordon's defense and Westbrook's fight often become winners and losers.

Nuggets are one of the teams with the highest winning rate and richest experience in recent years. Especially in the Jokic era, they have repeatedly proved their dominance in life and death.

I am looking forward to the second round of G7, the Nuggets and the Thunder staged a pinnacle battle against Mai Mang.
