The Oklahoma City Thunder take on the Denver Nuggets Tuesday night for Game 5 of their series. Both teams are looking for win number three, which would put them one more away from advancing to the Western Conference Finals. Ahead of Tuesday's matchup, take a look at how Oklahoma City looks to improve upon past performances and push for a win:

The Denver Nuggets visit the Oklahoma City Thunder for game five of the Western Conference second round with the series tied 2-2. The Thunder defeated the Nuggets 92-87 in the last matchup on Sunday. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander led the Thunder with 25 points, and Nikola Jokic led the Nuggets with 27.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander played like an MVP when he needed to with 25 points, six rebounds, six assists and two steals, while Cason Wallace, Aaron Wiggins and Alex Caruso provided important sparks off the bench. In fact, SGA was the only Thunder starter to score more than 10, but they still had enough in large part because of their defensive effort.

Before the first whistle of Game 3, Nikola Jokic had already turned heads, though not with a basketball. His pregame appearance made waves, as the Denver Nuggets star walked into Ball Arena wearing a bold purple suit.
