Ahead of the Oklahoma City Thunder's Game 6 against the Denver Nuggets, one squad will play with a lot more on the line than the other. The Thunder have grown up over the past week. Two straight close wins over the Nuggets have put them in a 3-2 Round 2 series lead over Denver.

After the Thunder beat the Denver Nuggets 112-105 in Game 5, taking a 3-2 lead in their best-of-seven series, they can eliminate the Nuggets on the road in Game 6. It's an opportunity, Caruso says, Oklahoma City shouldn't take lightly heading into Thursday's matchup.
