The Oklahoma City Thunder breezed through the first round of the 2025 NBA Playoffs, as they eliminated Ja Morant and the Memphis Grizzlies in just four games. It seems that the second round is a different story for Oklahoma City, especially after it got stunned in a 121-119 Game 1 loss to the Denver Nuggets at home on Monday evening.
The Thunder had a lead by as many as 14 points in the Nuggets game. They looked as though they were about to bag a win when Chet Holmgren went to the free throw line for a pair of shots and an opportunity to stretch OKC's lead to four points with just 10.
