There’s been a lot happening in the NBA Conference Semifinals lately. And the Aaron Gordon-Alex Caruso drama is the latest addition to the saga. During Game 6 of the Western Conference Semifinals, drama unfolded on the court as the Denver Nuggets faced off against the Oklahoma City Thunder.

After the Thunder beat the Denver Nuggets 112-105 in Game 5, taking a 3-2 lead in their best-of-seven series, they can eliminate the Nuggets on the road in Game 6. It's an opportunity, Caruso says, Oklahoma City shouldn't take lightly heading into Thursday's matchup.

That also means the Nuggets are on the brink of elimination. The veteran squad has played with a Gatorade symbol underneath their sneakers in the last two fourth quarters against the Thunder. Playing every other day the last two weeks with a short rotation has started to catch up to Denver despite Nikola Jokic's excellence.
