The Denver Nuggets are one win away from the Western Conference Finals after their 118-102 win over the Phoenix Suns in Game 5. Nuggets fans are celebrating already as the team will look to close things out on Thursday in Phoenix.
The Nuggets took an early double-digit lead in the first quarter before the Suns came back to trim it down to three points at half-time. However, Denver put on a run in the third quarter and built up a 21-point lead.
Phoenix tried everything they had at the start of the final period, but the Nuggets were just clicking on cylinders. Nikola Jokic had another triple-double with 29 points, 13 rebounds and 12 assists, with a steal and two blocks on top.
Fans on social media were quick to react to the Denver Nuggets' huge win in Game 5. Nuggets fans even started claiming that the Phoenix Suns should prepare for Cancun, hinting that Denver will finish it off in Game 6.

While Nikola Jokic led the way for the Denver Nuggets with his triple-double, Bruce Brown Jr. was also huge in Game 5. Brown Jr. scored 25 points off the bench, while Michael Porter Jr. added 19 points and eight rebounds. Jamal Murray had a bounce-back game of 19 points, five rebounds and six assists as well.
Meanwhile, Kevin Durant and Devin Booker finally cooled off, as both stars shot around 40.0% in Game 5. Durant finished with 26 points, 11 rebounds and seven assists, shooting 10-for-24 from the field and committing five turnovers.
Booker, who has been scorching since the first round, was limited to just 28 points on 8-for-19 shooting. It was still a good game for Booker, but the Suns are lacking offensive firepower from their bench.
Terrence Ross provided nine points off the bench, but players like Landry Shamet, TJ Warren and Torrey Craig will need to do more. Even Cameron Payne and Josh Okogie, who both started the game, were limited to seven points and one point, respectively.
Game 6 of the Nuggets-Suns semi-finals series is on Thursday at the Footprint Center in Phoenix. The Suns will look to find a way to stay alive and force a Game 7 in Denver.
Guess the Bulls players in this quiz and it's not going to be easy!
