I'll admit, the first two games of this series were a bit of a puzzle to figure out. But after Wednesday night, it looks like the Thunder have found their groove and flipped the switch back to full throttle. Oklahoma City absolutely dominated Denver, barely giving them room to breathe, and the Thunder's starting lineup was firing on all cylinders. They played with a chip on their shoulder, executing their game plan with intensity and precision.
One of the biggest differences in Game 2 was OKC's ability to neutralize Nikola Jokic. The reigning MVP was held to just 17 points, eight rebounds, and six assists—well below his typical playoff numbers. Credit goes to Chet Holmgren and Isaiah Hartenstein, who disrupted Jokic's rhythm and limited his impact. Their defensive pressure was relentless, cutting off passing lanes and challenging shots in the paint.
If Denver can’t get Jokic going, they’re in real trouble. The Thunder exposed that vulnerability in Game 2, and I don't see them changing that strategy moving forward. Oklahoma City made a massive statement with that blowout win, showing they are not just here to compete—they’re here to dominate. Take Oklahoma City ATS
Adding to their momentum, the Thunder are 7-3 against the spread (ATS) in their last 10 games, showcasing their ability to not just win, but win convincingly. With that kind of form and defensive execution, it’s hard to see Denver finding an answer unless they can get Jokic back to his dominant self. For now, OKC holds the edge, and the Nuggets are going to have to adjust quickly if they want to keep pace. Take Oklahoma City ATS
