Many people were looking forward to the battle of the MVP frontrunners in the second round of the Western Conference playoffs, and the series has not disappoint

The Thunder's offense dried up in their 113-104 Game 3 overtime loss to the Nuggets on Friday. They scored 21 points in the fourth quarter and overtime. This included just two points in the OT session that Aaron Gordon forced with a game-tying corner 3-pointer.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander played like an MVP when he needed to with 25 points, six rebounds, six assists and two steals, while Cason Wallace, Aaron Wiggins and Alex Caruso provided important sparks off the bench. In fact, SGA was the only Thunder starter to score more than 10, but they still had enough in large part because of their defensive effort.
