The Thunder scored another two points!!
A brief run of excellent offense and defense had turned all of Porter's hard work just moments ago into nothing once again.
And now, with only three minutes left in the game, the situation was changing by the second.
The tide kept turning between the two teams, making the fans watching at home cheer with excitement while those firmly backing one side watched with bated breath.
This time, it was Denver's turn to call a timeout.
The moment Westbrook made the steal, Malone had prepared himself for what was coming. After Westbrook finished at the rim, Malone immediately called a timeout.
Then, watching Turtle Turtle roar on the court and vent his emotions, he fell into thought.
The Thunder's defensive adjustments were even more obvious than their offensive ones.
Chen Xi's defense when fully focused was far beyond what he'd expected.
If they didn't make a change, it was hard to say what Murray would end up looking like...
So they had to make a change, too.
Not long after, the timeout ended, and both teams returned to the court.
The game resumed.
In the Nuggets' backcourt, Gordon inbounded the ball to Murray.
Kobe Mamba continued dribbling upcourt, then passed to Jokic as soon as he crossed half court.
Jokic caught the ball at the top of the key, then turned to face Davis, who had come up to hedge hard.
He made a Shot Fake with the ball, then took a dribble and looked for Little Porter.
Porter quickly moved up to receive the handoff, then went right. He gathered the ball and made a Shot Fake.
Davis switched over immediately, raising both hands and applying immense pressure.
On the sidelines, a knowing look flashed through Mike Malone's eyes.
Just as he'd expected,
