The Thunder respond in a crucial moment, Jalen Williams bounces back in the nick of time and the Nuggets face clear questions.

For the first time in nearly a decade, the OKC Thunder is headed to the Western Conference finals. To get there, it took surviving the Denver Nuggets.

The NBA announced on Monday that Jalen Williams was fined $25,000 for wearing a shirt with profanity language on it after the Oklahoma City Thunder 's 125-93 Game 7 win over the Denver Nuggets. He wore it in his postgame press conference.

The Denver Nuggets once again came up short in Game 7 of the Western Conference semifinals and once more the biggest reason was their short rotation and lack of reinforcements off the bench.

The Denver Nuggets do their part in backing interim head coach David Adelman following Game 7 loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder.

The game is scheduled to start at 3:30 p.m. EDT and will be broadcast on ABC.

Gordon "looked normal," Adelman said. "His motions were good. So, hoping he plays." In the event that he doesn't play, though, the Nuggets will be prepared. "We walked through a lot of stuff today with different people having [his] responsibilities," Adelman said. "But, like I said, the hope is the responsibilities will be Aaron's."
