DENVER >> Jamal Murray fought through an illness to score 25 points and power the Denver Nuggets past the Thunder 119-107 on Thursday night, sending the series back to Oklahoma City for a decisive Game 7.

Sick since Wednesday, Murray was listed as questionable for the game.

Nikola Jokic led Denver with 29 points, 14 rebounds and eight assists, and Christian Braun scored a career playoff-best 23 points to go with 12 rebounds. But it was second-year reserve guard Julian Strawther who ignited the Nuggets’ runaway, scoring a career playoff-high 15 points, all in the second half.

Game 7 is Sunday.

One negative for Denver: Aaron Gordon grabbed at his left hamstring late in the game and hobbled through the final few minutes.
