They were no match however for Nikola Jokic who posted a triple-double scoring 29 points on 60% shooting from the floor while grabbing 13 rebounds and 12 assists to go along with 2 blocks.

Bruce Brown also had a big game off the bench scoring 25 points on an efficient 64% shooting from the floor and the Nuggets ended up shooting 48% from three on Tuesday as they continue to shoot at a high clip on their home court.

Devin Booker after the game talked with the media and PHNX’s Gerald Bourguet asked him a question on embracing the challenge of going back on their home court for game 6. Booker isn’t shying away from it.

Durant echoed similar sentiments to Booker after the game on Tuesday night and even gave his own experiences on facing elimination games in the past. It’s all about how you respond.
