Denver - After another jump burst, Nikola Jokic stretched his 6-foot-11,284-pound body to the Nuggets bench and released a roar shooter to the roar in the ball arena.

Jokic endured one of his worst offenses in his career in Game 3 on Friday, scoring 20 points on 25 shots, missing all 10 3-point attempts and matching his playoff career by making eight turnovers.

Ultimately, the struggle for three MVPs is not important. Regardless, the Nuggets managed to win an overtime 113-104, and anyway, the Oklahoma City Thunder beat the Oklahoma City Thunder, making Jokic feel more lucky than frustrated.

"Basically, I'm the worst player on the court tonight," ESPN Research said. Jokic said Jokic was the first player to get 0 out of 0 from the 3-point range and made at least eight turnovers in any game. “But we won the game, and that’s the most important thing.”

Jokic's driving layup at the opening remarks of overtime gave the Nuggets a lead. As the Nuggets improve their defensive strength, the Thunder scored just 2 points in the extra frame.

Oklahoma City superstar Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is a favorite of MVP defeating Jokic this season, and his shooting performance is also terrible. He scored 18 points on 7 of 22 shots, including eight in the fourth quarter. Gilgeous-Alexander did not make a shot attempt in overtime.

"The game gets slower and execution is more important," Gilgeous-Alexander said. "At the moment the game slows down, it usually comes down to your best player playing and playing. I didn't do well enough tonight, and I think that's the main reason for the result."

Jalen Williams, a fellow Alexander, scored half of his career-high 32 points in the fourth quarter. This included a three-pointer, giving Oklahoma City's rules 1:50 left, while the next free throw raised the lead to three.

But Denver ended the game 14-2, starting with power forward Aaron Gordon with 28 seconds left. This is his third game or pre-approval in the last 30 seconds of the fourth quarter of the playoffs, including three games won in Game 1 of this series.

"AG is always ready for a while," said Nuggets point guard Jamal Murray.

Murray, Gordon and small forward Michael Porter Jr.

"I'm very upset, but I'm trying to stay in the game to do small things," Jokic said. "Those nights happened. Those guys lifted me up."

Murray ended with 27 points, eight assists and four steals, with multiple teammates seeing his defensive efforts as a key component of Denver’s dominance in this goal. Gordon scored 22 points, 8 rebounds and 5 assists. Porter played in a left shoulder injury, which made it difficult to lift that arm over his head, but had 21 points and 8 rebounds. The trio scored 11 of 17 goals from the 3-point range, making up for Jokic's range inaccuracy.

"It's growth. It's a huge growth for our team," Gordon said. "A lot of people stepped up. We did a great job. It shows that we're a team, and that's what we've always had. We need everyone on this team."

Gilgeous-Alexander exited the arena's eagerness to attend Saturday's film conference, an opportunity to find a solution with the defensive program that didn't give him much room to operate.

According to ESPN Research, Gilgeous-Alexander has 18 of his 22 shot-scoring attempts. He won 18 innings from the floor in the half-time, including Christian Braun as the main defender. He only got 5 of 5 free throws as the Nuggets kept Gilgeous-Alexander away from gliding in the cracks in the defense.

Gilgeous-Alexander works hard to serve as a distributor. He had 24 potential assists - a career-high in the playoffs - but his teammates only made seven shots. He admitted that when Williams was in the groove, he might force some shots in the fourth quarter.

"Honestly, what I see is your decision to live or die, and I die tonight because of the decision." "It's just a game. I've been in the position and played the tough shots, I took the shot after the game and when I don't play the right game or miss the right shot or anything, I'm willing to put it on my chest. It brings the game. It's about that territory."

Gilgeous-Alexander left the court after the loss, a big smile appeared on his face, saying it was a reaction to the sarcasm of Nuggets fans.

"I never want to show them I was beaten or angry or something like that," Gilgeous-Alexander said. "No writing was written. The series isn't over yet, and we have a lot of optimistic optimism worthy. I didn't show it my way, but after that I have the chance to make up for it in the next game and the next game."
