00:00He's 87 points in the opening half for the Thunder.
00:03The most points ever scored in an opening half in NBA playoff history.
00:09And OKC never looked back.
00:11Hammering the Denver Nuggets to even up this second round set at a game all 149-106.
00:18A 43-point win for Oklahoma City at home.
00:22The Thunder easily covering as a 10-point home favorite.
00:25A total of 230.
00:27Sky's over.
00:28That's what's going to happen.
00:29And one-on-one team flirts with scoring 150 points.
00:31Yeah, and the one thing you can never tell is Oklahoma City look at their box.
00:34I'm like, yeah, SGA had 34 points.
00:35Not allowed to get 35.
00:36Not allowed to score less than 27 points.
00:38So he chimed in.
00:39And look at the efficiency, though.
00:4130 minutes played, 11 of 13 from field goal range, or from field goals.
00:45And then 11 for 11 from the free throw line, which was really impressive.
00:48See the plus money number, or plus minus on him?
00:5251 in that ballgame for SGA.
00:54That's incredible.
00:55And sometimes you can just look at the box score from the Denver Nuggets also, Ben, and say,
00:58What did Jokic do?
00:59Didn't even get a double-double?
01:01He probably didn't end really kindly there for the Nuggets, and it didn't.
01:04That was one of those games where the expectations were.
01:06The question was asked yesterday and posed, Ben, was who's more likely to get blown out tonight?
01:11Would it be the New York Knicks as the underdog because the Celtics have to win?
01:14Or would it be the Denver Nuggets because Oklahoma City has to win?
01:17We chose the New York Knicks as the chance to get blown out last night.
01:20And you see that final score?
01:22Almost a 50-point drubbing for the Denver Nuggets.
01:24And this is one of those where the Nuggets had mission accomplished.
01:27You have home court advantage.
01:28But, boy, did you waste that good vibes where it was like,
01:31All right, we lost by five points in game number two.
01:33We're coming back home.
01:34You get smashed like that.
01:35Oklahoma City's got that feeling.
01:36We're the team in command now.
01:38Doesn't matter that you have home court advantage.
01:40We're here to seize the day.
01:41They were phenomenal yesterday.
01:42I can't blame Denver because, also, Ben, when you look at game number seven,
01:46sometimes you run on fumes in game number one,
01:47and the gas tank is empty in game number two.
01:49That's what it looked like happened to the Denver Nuggets.
