How Thunder’s Unstoppable Strategy Crushed the Nuggets When It Mattered Most
With the defense holding up its end of the bargain, the Thunder just needed someone besides Shai Gilgeous-Alexander to help drag them to the finish line offensively. Jalen Williams was that guy.
Williams had a series to forget offensively but a Game 7 to remember, specifically in the second quarter. After taking the right shots and missing in Game 6, he found a rhythm and poured in 17 of his 24 points in the second quarter. It was tied for the most points heâd scored in a quarter all season.
Gilgeous-Alexander was brilliant again with 35 points on 12-of-19 shooting. It looked like Jokic might be the star who had figured out the defense against him leading into Game 7, but it was SGA who shrugged off everything the Nuggets threw at him to make it look easy in the finale. He finally found his 3-point shot as well, shooting 3 of 4 on 3-pointers.
