In the NBA Playoffs, the Knicks defeated the Celtics while the Nuggets stunned the Thunder.

In the first game of their second-round playoff series, the Denver Nuggets defeated the Oklahoma City Thunder 121-119 on the road, pulling off an unlikely comeback.

Even though Oklahoma City appeared to have the game under control for the most of the game, the Thunder maintained control.

With less than a minute to play, the Thunder started playing the foul game while up three, attempting to prevent the Nuggets from tying the game on a single shot.

However, that strategy failed. The Thunder were ahead 119-118 with 10 seconds remaining when big man Chet Holmgren missed two free throw attempts.

The Nuggets collected the rebound, and finally Aaron Gordon found himself open for a three for the win

The Nuggets big man Nikola Jokic was once again an incomprehensible force throughout the game, finishing with an incredible stat line of 42 points and 22 rebounds, even if Aaron Gordon was the eventual hero.
