CARLSON: How Jaylin Williams foiled Nikola Jokic and set tone for Thunder rout vs Nuggets in Game 2 SGA, Thunder set the tone early on with a historic first half A composed Shai Gilgeous-Alexander proclaimed that OKC "should be good" following Monday's Game 1 loss.

Denver trailed 87-56 at halftime after allowing the most points ever scored in a half of playoff basketball. The Thunder finished the night 56% from the field and 44% from 3-point range. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander led all scorers with 30 points on 11-of-13 shooting.

That is how Aaron Gordon reacted to Nikola Jokic fouling out in the third period for the first time in his career. That it came in Game 2 of the second round against the top-seeded Thunder made it even more exasperating.
