The Oklahoma City Thunder and Denver Nuggets will meet for Game 5 of the Western Conference semifinals tonight.

Denver was last in the league in 3-point attempts per game during the regular season (31.9), but that number has jumped to 38.5 3PA in the four contests against OKC. In their first-round series versus the LA Clippers, the Nuggets fired up an average of just 29.0 3PA across seven games.
