Thunder vs. Nuggets Injury Report: Minimal Setbacks for Both Teams Ahead of Game 2 of NBA 2025 Playoffs

The Denver Nuggets have a crucial lead going into the second game at the Paycom Center on Wednesday. A magnificent NBA Playoffs performance that stunned OKC Thunder is still fresh in the minds of the home fans. Their side is under the pressure to avoid another home court debacle in game 2.

OKC Thunder, who began the previous game well, somehow went into the defensive mode as the game progressed. With an often double-digit lead, the young side didn’t go for the kill, rather they went into their cave trying to hold the game. This gave a crucial chance to the Denver Nuggets.

Once the momentum started switching in the fourth quarter, it was too late for the OKC Thunder to turn the switch again. Even the foul game that the side played in the dying minutes and seconds of the game screamed of a too defensive approach for a team that finished first in the Western Conference.
