Oklahoma City Thunder vs. Phoenix Suns (Game 4)

Facing elimination, Denver must defend home court against a Minnesota team that has been excellent throughout the series. Even without key contributors, the Timberwolves have showcased depth, toughness, and outstanding perimeter shooting. Expect a desperate and intense response from the Nuggets.
