Which play was most important?
A) Serge Ibaka's block of a Kenyon Martin layup that would have given the Nuggets an 11-point lead.
B) Ibaka's block of Nene's follow attempt on the same possession, which James Harden somehow saved from going out of bounds deep in the corner.
C) Kevin Durant's 3-pointer seven seconds later that pulled the Thunder to within 91-85 and started him on a breathtaking flurry of 5-for-6 shooting from the field.
D) Nene's missed dunk that would have rebuilt his team's lead to eight.
E) Harden's block of Arron Afflalo's fade-away 10-footer that Kendrick Perkins rebounded and eventually led to a Durant 13-footer to make the score 91-88.
F) Ty Lawson's two missed free throws. He was 19 for 19 in the series to that point.
G) Harden's 3-pointer deep in the left-hand corner that tied the score at 91 with 1:50 left, which came after Denver was unable to secure a rebound off Durant's last miss of the game.
