Alexander hadn’t scored in the fourth quarter before driving for a layup that gave the Thunder a much-anticipated lead with 3 ½ minutes left. The OKC star poured it on from there as the Thunder rallied for a 112-105 win over Denver in Game 5 of the Western Conference semifinals Tuesday night at the Paycom Center.

The top-seeded Oklahoma City Thunder are back on their home floor for Game 5 and looking to take the series lead for the first time in their second-round matchup with the Denver Nuggets. The series is tied, 2-2, after OKC pulled out a Game 4 road win on Sunday.

With less than 30 seconds left in regulation, Gordon hit a 3 to tie the Denver Nuggets with the Oklahoma Thunder and send Game 3 into OT.
