Kendrick Perkins exploited his own playoff experience at OKC Thunder to explain their advantages.

The Oklahoma City Thunder faces the toughest Tests as a young team. With the Denver Nuggets winning Game 6, they have to play tough Game 7 on Sunday afternoon.

Shy Gilgaus Alexander admitted that the stakes for lightning are higher than ever. And what makes this even more stressful is that Thunder has never been in this position before.

Meanwhile, the Denver Nuggets played in the game just seven weeks ago and came out with the winner. As much as the Thunder has a better team, experience is not on their side.

However, Kendrick Perkins believes there is one element in Game 7 that few people have to consider, and it’s enough for lightning to win.

“Because it’s part of the playoffs, especially when you’re trying to get it done, you’re going to win the championship and advance to the next round and reach the conference final.”

“That should be stressful. I think this OKC team will take this opportunity to stand up just because it feeds that crowd in Oklahoma City…”

The Nuggets must overcome not only the talented Thunder team, but also the noisy playoff environment. Even LeBron James has become a victim of this environment. Therefore, the nugget must maintain its head.
