Braun had a 20-point double-double, recording 23 points and 11 rebounds, along with five assists and three steals. He also became the youngest player in Nuggets franchise history to record at least 20 points, 10 rebounds, five assists and three steals in a playoff game.

This postseason, Braun has more than doubled his points (5.1) and rebounding (2.7) averages from last year's playoffs.

Nuggets coach David Adelman has given Braun more playing time and confidence. Under Michael Malone, he averaged 17.0 minutes, but under Adelman, he's playing 39.3 minutes a game.

Sunday's winner will move on to the Western Conference finals to face the Minnesota Timberwolves.
