OKLAHOMA CITY — Ready to check out, Nikola Jokic took matters into his own hands. He picked up his final two fouls within the same minute. A textbook illegal screen ended his game as the three-time MVP laughed and shook his head toward the bench. After all, that's all he could do after OKC embarrassed his squad.
In their most important game in months, the Oklahoma City Thunder destroyed the Denver Nuggets in a 149-106 Game 2 win. They led by as many as 49 points. The 43-point win evened the Round 2 series at 1-1.
