The Oklahoma City Thunder launched a late comeback to secure a 112-105 win in Game 5 against the Denver Nuggets, and it now holds a 3-2 lead in the NBA Playoffs.

Jokic said Oklahoma City still played the same kind of defense that bothered him in Games 2 through 4, when he shot just 33% from the field and 18.2% from 3-point range. He again mostly dealt with 7-foot-1 Chet Holmgren, 7-footer Isaiah Hartenstein and the rugged, energetic Jaylin Williams.

During his time suiting up for the Sonics, Johnson wore only jersey No. 27 and put up 10.8 points, 4.6 rebounds, and 4.0 assists per game.

Isaiah Hartenstein went from playing behind Denver's Nikola Jokic to playing against him with OKC in the second round of the NBA Playoffs.

The Oklahoma City Thunder have a golden opportunity in front of them. They have to go take it, starting with Game 5 against the Denver Nuggets.
