In the first quarter, Harten performed his unique skills continuously at the beginning, using his throws to score, Homgren made a three-pointer, and the Thunder stopped the Nuggets 18-9.

With Caruso's layup, the game collapsed 30-59. The Thunder became more and more excited and confidence rose. 41-71, Alexander assisted Jaylen Williams to dunk, 43-78! The score difference has reached 35 points, and the Nuggets are too passive and very tired. With 0.5 seconds left in this quarter, the Thunder got another two free throws, and Homgren made all the free throws, and the Nuggets entered the second half 56-87.

Alexander of the Thunder scored 34 points, 4 rebounds and 8 assists, and only 2 shots in 13 shots were not made.

Nuggets must adjust the team to start, Porter Jr. is useless. In the last game, Porter made 1 of 8 shots in the game, only scored 2 of 10 shots in the second game, and only scored 8 points, making 3 goals in 18 shots in two games. Porter Jr. missed the open position, hesitated to shoot, and lacked Westbrook's passion for playing. The slowness of the Nuggets is the weakness of the Nuggets. Nuggets coach Adelman should have realized the problem of Porter Jr., which is difficult for Porter Jr. to be reused again.
