NBA playoffs: Thunder Steamroll Nuggets in game 2 with 87 points after the season record in the first half

by

No 20-point lead is certain in this year's NBA playoffs. The good news for the Oklahoma City Thunder is that a lead of 49 points is still pretty safe.

In the middle of a number of three days with a massive NBA playoff comebacks, the thunder put a team from Denver Nuggets the pain that she surprised in game 1, and definitely paid the prize on Wednesday with an ____ OKC victory. With the series 1-1, the two teams will drive to Denver for Game 3 on Friday.

The game was effective for over minutes in the third quarter and was definitely over until the end of the third quarter when Nikola Jokić fouled and the Thunder began to start.

It was an overwhelming group effort from OKC, but the core was still clearly Shai Gilgeous-Alexander. The MVP favorite (Sorry Nugget fans) scored 34 points in the 11-of-13 shooting with eight templates and set a record of NBA Play-by-Play-A-Termal in his 30 minutes of playing with a plus 51 rating.

Six minutes after the beginning of the first quarter they rose by 11 points. At the end of the first quarter they were 24 points. At halftime they stood by 87-56 and set up an NBA playoff record in the first half.

In this half, six different Thunder players scored two digits and the team ended two sales, while Denver exceeded 30-21. They also kept their foot on the gas in the second half and led around 49 in the fourth quarter.

It was the kind of avalanche that we saw the Thunder unleashed during the regular season, which ended with the fact that the team provided an NBA record for the evaluation of differentials.

Not Nikola Jokić's best night

In game 1, Jokić was again the star for the Nuggets and scored 42 points and 22 rebounds in a duel between the top MVP candidates of the league. In game 2 things went less well.

The thunder basically tried to make Jokić miserable, and held the three-time MVP on 17 points in 6 von-16 shootings with eight rebounds, six assists and six sales. He exchanged in the third quarter and did not thrive particularly in defense.

It has proven to be impossible as a borderline this season that the nuggets will win a game if they are exceeded with Jokić on the square. They were exceeded in his 32 minutes on Wednesday with 36 points.
