The Denver Nuggets survived for at least another day with a 119-107 win over the Oklahoma City Thunder in Game 6 on Thursday night.
Jamal Murray played despite being questionable with an illness, and four of five Denver starters had double figures. Nikola Jokic led the way with 29 points, 14 rebounds and eight assists as Murray scored 25 points with eight rebounds and seven assists.
But, it was the Julain Strawther show as the Nuggets reserve scored 15 points in just 20 minutes.
While the Nuggets forcing a Game 7 is great news, a concerning clip surfaced of a potential serious injury to Aaron Gordon.
In the final minutes of the game, Gordon came up holding his hamstring area after going for a loose ball, and Dr. Evan Jeffries called it a "major concern."

After the game, head coach David Adelman expressed there is concern as well, per Vinny Benedetto of The Denver Gazette.
"David Adelman says it's too early to know much about Aaron Gordon's hamstring. AG was grabbing at it late. Adelman says the concern level is high, but DA's excited about the two-day rest."
Gordon had just five points on Thursday, although he did add seven rebounds and seven assists.
Game 7 is on Sunday, and not having Gordon could be a major blow to the Nuggets.
