Game 2 of the series between the Oklahoma City Thunder and the Denver Nuggets was a one-sided beatdown. The Thunder smoked the Nuggets 149-106. Aaron Gordon was quick to find fault with external sources. "They're fouling, point blank period, throughout the game," Gordon told the media after Game 2.

Falling to unreal pressure in Game 1 with two late missed free throws, Chet Holmgren's one-on-one time with Kenrich Williams in the day between games helped clear his mind. The veteran might barely play in the playoffs, but his impact remains.
