On the other side, three Thunder players topped the 40-minute mark, with star point guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander leading the way with 45 minutes. Oklahoma City forward Jalen Williams, who scored a game-high 32 points, played 43 minutes. Center Chet Holmgren played 40 minutes.

In a funny twist, Nikola Jokic has enjoyed help from his teammates. Aaron Gordon scored the game-winner in Game 1 to stun the Thunder. In Game 3, Denver had three other players besides the three-time MVP winner who scored 20-plus points.

Nikola Jokic was honest with his poor shooting performance in the Nuggets' Game 4 loss to the Thunder on Sunday.
