The Thunder collected a 112-105 Game 5 win over the Denver Nuggets. They now hold a 3-2 Round 2 playoff series lead. After being scrutinized in Game 4, Dort became a folk hero in Game 5. That's what the NBA playoffs are about. Here's what the Thunder said about Dort's performance:

Denver was last in the league in 3-point attempts per game during the regular season (31.9), but that number has jumped to 38.5 3PA in the four contests against OKC. In their first-round series versus the LA Clippers, the Nuggets fired up an average of just 29.0 3PA across seven games.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and the youthful Oklahoma Thunder are on the verge of making the franchise's first appearance in the Western Conference finals since 2016.
