NBA
1/8 Finals Round 3: Denver N. - Oklah.City T. 94-97
Date: April 23, 2011
Transforming from a shot-blocker into a shot-maker, Serge Ibaka tied his career high with 22 points and sparked the Oklahoma City Thunder's 97-94 win over the Denver Nuggetson Saturday night that gave them a 3-0 lead in their best-of-7 playoff series. Ibaka, a second-year pro from the Congo who led the league with 198 blocks during the regular season, gave the Thunder a third dimension on offense to go with All-Stars Kevin Durant (26 points) and Russell Westbrook (23). Ibaka also set a career high by pulling down 16 rebounds, 10 on the defensive glass. Not even the return of Arron Afflalo (13 points) from a troublesome hamstring injury or bounce-back performances from J.R. Smith (15 points) and Chris "Birdman" Andersen (13) could keep the Nuggets from falling to 0-5 against Oklahoma City this month and inching closer to elimination. Smith's contested 3-pointer just before the buzzer fell well short and Smith argued for a foul call on James Harden, but the officials didn't blow their whistles. Smith was hopping mad and stormed off the court after almost leading the Nuggets to an improbable rally in the final minute, when he hit two 3-pointers. The Thunder can wrap up the series in Game 4 Monday night in Denver. It would be the franchise's first playoff series win since moving from Seattle in 2008. *Courtesy of www.cbssports.com
