Thunder vs. Nuggets: Can OKC Steal Game 2 in Denver?

The Oklahoma City Thunder pulled off a huge upset in Game 1, taking down the Denver Nuggets on the road. Can they keep the momentum going and steal Game 2?

**The Nuggets were clearly rattled by the Thunder's tenacity in Game 1. OKC played with incredible energy, especially on the defensive end. They forced 17 turnovers and held Denver to just 42.8% shooting from the field.

The Thunder's offense wasn't perfect, but they did a good job getting to the free throw line and hitting their shots from the perimeter. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, as usual, led the way with 31 points.

Denver's stars struggled in Game 1. Nikola Jokic looked human, and Jamal Murray couldn't find his rhythm. If the Nuggets want to avoid another upset, they'll need their stars to step up in Game 2.

The Thunder, on the other hand, will need to continue their aggressive play. If they can keep the pace up and continue to force turnovers, they can put the Nuggets in a tough spot.

It's going to be an interesting matchup, especially with the Nuggets looking to bounce back. Will the Thunder continue their run, or will the Nuggets regain control?

Here are some key things to watch for in Game 2:

• Can Jokic get back on track? The Nuggets' offense runs through Jokic, and he needs to be more dominant in Game 2.
• Will the Thunder's defense continue to be a problem for the Nuggets? OKC's defense was suffocating in Game 1, and Denver will need to adjust to it if they want to score more points.
• How will Murray respond? He's a big-game player, and the Nuggets need him to step up and provide some offensive spark.

Game 2 should be a good one. The Thunder will be looking to make a statement, while the Nuggets will be looking to get back on track.

Don't miss it!
