OKC Thunder had another historical gameplay in Game 2 vs. Nuggets.
The Oklahoma City Thunder entered their names into the NBA record books for the highest-scoring first half in a playoff game. After suffering a 121-119 upset in the opening game of their Conference Semifinals series against the Denver Nuggets, the table-toppers Thunder made a stunning comeback in Game 2. They finished the first half with 87 points, setting an NBA record for most points scored in the opening half of a playoff game.
With this, they surpassed the previously-existing record of 86 points-half set by Cleveland Cavaliers in Game 4 of the 2017 NBA Finals. The Cavaliers had set the record against the Golden State Warriors on June 9, 2017.
Not only this, but with it, the Thunder also matched the long-standing record of most points in any half of a playoff game set by the Milwaukee Bucks. The Bucks posted 87 points against Denver on April 23, 1978.
Coming back to Wednesday night’s game, the Thunder shot 58.8% from the field, 30-for-51, and 43.5% from the three-point arc, 10-for-23. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander came up with 18 points while forward Jalen Williams dropped in 13 points. Apart from them, a total of four other players tallied 10 points apiece. Earlier in the first quarter, Oklahoma City tied its own playoff record for points in a quarter as they led the Nuggets 45-21.
