hunder forward Serge Ibaka finished one block and two rebounds away from a defensive double-double against the Denver Nuggets in Game 5 on Wednesday night.

The youngest player on the NBA's youngest playoff roster, the 21-year-old Ibaka had a career-high nine blocked shots, plus eight rebounds and just one point. …

"My game is every time not just offense, you know," Ibaka said inside the OKC locker room after midnight. "Some games, I come out with good offense – the last two or three games. Some games, is the offense. Something I can do every day is my defense. Offense? Some days, yes. Everybody can have bad day or good day. On defense, I can't come out 80-90 percent every night to do my defense. That is why I will stay focused."

Ibaka leads the playoffs in blocked shots with 4.8 per game. Chicago's Joakim Noah is next at 2.6.
