This Western Conference series between the top-seeded Oklahoma City Thunder and fourth-seeded Denver Nuggets will now shift to Denver on Friday night. Let’s take a look at the match statistics and predictions to see whether the Nuggets can defend their home court or if the Thunder can retake control of this series.
Oklahoma City responded in a huge way in Game 2, emphatically beating Denver by a score of 149-106 to tie the series at 1-1. The Thunder got huge contributions from their entire lineup, but it was Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, who led the team in scoring with 34 points.
As for Denver, losing in the fashion they did had to be demoralizing, however, they can still look ahead to Game 3, knowing they did their job of stealing one game on the road in Oklahoma City. It was an off-night from the start for the Nuggets, as they shot 37.9% from the field. However, Russell Westbrook still put in a respectable performance by scoring 19 points off the bench to lead the team.
