The Oklahoma City Thunder and the Denver Nuggets are battling in a second round series that is all tied up at one game each. How the Thunder handle these road games will be huge.

Denver’s best bet to win this game is to outscore Oklahoma City. It’s hard to envision a world where the Nuggets out-defend the Thunder. Oklahoma City ranked first in defensive rating, while the Nuggets ranked below teams like the Wizards and Nets down the stretch of the regular season.

The Denver Nuggets host the Oklahoma City Thunder in Game 3 of their Western Conference semifinals series in the NBA Playoffs Friday at Ball Arena.
