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.
