Denver Nuggets and Oklahoma City Thunder head-to-head record

Having won two of their last three games, including a resounding 149-106 victory on May 8, 2025, Oklahoma has demonstrated its offensive firepower in recent games, demonstrating its ability to overwhelm its opponent with high-scoring performances. But the Nuggets managed to pull off a pivotal victory in Game 3, winning 113-104 on May 10, 2025, showing their ability to step up when called upon.
The Thunder's capacity to maintain a strong defensive structure going into Game 6 may be crucial, as proven in their 92-87 victory on May 12, 2025, while the Nuggets must improve on their defense and take advantage of their scoring accuracy to force another game.
