The Oklahoma City Thunder will host the Denver Nuggets for Game 5 of their Round 2 NBA playoff series on Tuesday. The series is tied at 2-2. The Thunder survived a do-or-die situation when they escaped with a 92-87 Game 4 win over the Nuggets on Sunday.

Denver has won the close games in this series, and made a furious comeback late in Game 1 to steal a game on the road. The Thunder won Game 2 by 43 points, but the Nuggets then won in overtime in Game 3 on Friday to re-take the series lead.

Watching OKC's Game 4 win in Denver on Sunday triggered a Thunder memory. Let's rewind on the 2011 NBA Playoffs — and what it could mean for 2025.
