Danwar Nagets saw the 2–0 series lead on Oklahoma City Thunder in Game 2 of their second round series on Wednesday night.
Of course, Nagets stole game 1 of the series, when they were able to return to the fourth quarter, which ended with Aaron Gordon’s game-winner three-pointers.
He then did the same in Game 2 on Wednesday night, but it will not happen.

Oklahoma City dominated Denver’s own way in Game 2 as he defeated Nagates 149–106 to a rejoicing of an incredible performance from his superstar point guard Shai Gilgas-Alexander.
Thunder excluded Nagets in the first half from 87–56 and then he was able to complete a 43-point victory to tie the series in a game app.
This was actually a major performance by Thunder as Nagets struggled on both ends of the court and their star players helped a little on the aggressive end.
Nikola Jokik ended with only 17 points, eight rebounds and six assistance, while Jamal Murray, Aaron Gordon and Michael Porter Junior jointly combined only 32 points.

Due to their aggressive conflicts and inability to protect the thunder, this caused a shock to damage because the Nugets disappeared their benefits of the series.
After the game, Nagates interim head coach David Edelman made a three-word statement about the game.
Edelman said after a shock defeat in Game 3 on Wednesday, “We tickled,” after a shock on Wednesday in Sports 3.
"We got punctured."

While Edelman’s response was only three words, he fully expressed the night to Denver because they were actually punched by Oklahoma City.
Despite this, Nagets will now return home for games 3 and 4 as they regain the series control.
Although this may be the case, there may be a win for the game 3 Denver because they do not want the thunder to come into the field of ball and take full control of the series and get the benefit of the house.
