They tied 3:3 while falling behind in the series, leaving the suspense in the 7-game showdown. After winning the game, the Nuggets can be said to be mixed. What is happy is that the game still has suspense; what is worried is that the team has new injuries. Let's take a look together. After the Nuggets win: Gordon's injury update, Porter made a promise, there are X factors in the series.

Gordon's offensive performance is average, but he has 7 rebounds, 7 assists and 1 steal, with a positive and negative value of 17, and the team is second, which is also crucial for the team to win, but Gordon suffered an injury once in the game. In the last moment of the 4th quarter of the game, Gordon was suspected of having a hamstring injury during a round of fighting for the ball. From the scene, we can see that Gordon was walking limping while touching the position of his hamstring. Medical expert Evan Jeffried said Gordon didn't look very good and kept holding onto his left hamstring. When showing the specific round, medical experts confirmed it a little. Gordon seemed to have encountered a left hamstring, which is the biggest hidden danger to the team's prospects. Head coach Adelman talked about Gordon's situation in an interview after the game. He said he was very worried about Gordon's hamstring problem, but the specific situation is not clear at the moment. At the same time, Adelman said that the next two days of rest will be great for the team.

The team can be used to adjust and restore physical fitness in the past two days. Porter Jr.'s performance in this game is also average, but the news after the game still proves the reason for his sluggishness. Porter Jr. revealed in an interview that he received medical injections, which are suitable for pain management; he planned to receive injections again before the tiebreak game.

This is also crucial for the Nuggets. After all, Porter Jr.'s scoring is very important for the team, but he also suffered an injury in this round of the series. In the fierce game that ended, he played 29 minutes and scored 4 of 9 shots, scored 10 points, 4 rebounds, 1 steal and 1 block. He made a three-pointer in the first and third quarters, which greatly relieved the pressure of the team. He also promised to continue to accept the injury and strive to have good results.

X factors that affect the final trend of this round of series have also appeared; in addition to the performance of the players of the two teams, the biggest factor is the Nuggets' physical fitness. After all, the Nuggets reached a tiebreak in the last round, and they also had to try their best to tiebreak in this round, which consumed huge physical energy. In addition, the team's lineup was relatively small, so the main players' playing time remained high. Fortunately, the 7-game showdown between the two teams will be held on the 19th, which means that both sides can get two days of rest.

This is the second time in the playoffs, the Nuggets have received a two-day break. The last time they had to go back to the G4 and G5 between the Clippers and the Clippers duel. After the rest, the Nuggets defeated the Clippers by 16 points. In addition, the Nuggets played a day apart during the playoffs. This time, the two-day rest period is good for the physical recovery of the core players, as well as the illness and injury recovery of Porter, Murray and Gordon.

This is also the seventh time Jokic has scored 7 matchups in his career. In the first 6 times, he averaged 24.3 points, 15.5 rebounds, 7.3 assists, 1 steal and 2 blocks per game, with a record of 4 wins and 2 losses. Let us wait and see whether the team can defeat the Thunder this time to advance.
