The Denver Nuggets, ranked fourth, pushed the series to a decisive seventh game against the top-seeded Oklahoma City Thunder with a comeback win of 119-107 on Thursday night, despite being down at halftime. This turn of events is highly exciting for NBA enthusiasts, as it guarantees a full seven games of top-tier basketball competition. Yet, for the athletes involved, the stakes are much more significant.

OKC’s Shai Gilgeous-Alexander shared his focused mindset while addressing the media post-game as they prepare for Sunday’s climactic game.

“It’s do or die,” SGA expressed to the journalists. “This is the moment you dream about, train relentlessly for your entire life. You either get to continue chasing your dream or it ends here. So, you give everything you’ve got on the court and accept whatever comes of it. I’m definitely excited about the opportunity.”

Watch that below:

SGA’s perspective is earnest and reflects the true nature of professional sports — the ultimate goal is always championship glory. For the Thunder, who have yet to claim a title since becoming Oklahoma City’s team (disregarding their history as the Seattle SuperSonics), the pursuit is particularly poignant.

In essence, achieving greatness requires unwavering focus and determination, qualities that SGA seems to embody fully as he prepares for the upcoming challenge.

The final showdown of Game 7 is scheduled to begin at 3:30 p.m. ET on Sunday, May 18.
