The smallest post -season team did not stand for the Denver Nags, who won two years ago and directed La Clippers in the 7 game in the first round of these qualifiers, but rather exterminated them.
After Nags jumped to 11 points in the first quarter, thunder responded through their excellence in the second period, 39-20, and led up to 43 points in the fourth quarter.
It was an amazing victory for a team Appear Great, but the battle has not really been tested. Last season, Al -Raad also ended the first record at the Western Conference, but it collapsed against Dallas Marax in the second round of the qualifiers.
This was their opportunity to prove that they have TRUE Posteason slices.
Thunder categorically answered any questions about whether they were ready for this stage. They have turned the Nagsz team, which was tested with the fighting with a star that is widely considered the greatest player in the world into the Ragage group, which seemed noisy and amazing regardless of the first quarter.
While Shai Gilgeous-Elexander led the thunder attack with 35 points, Alex Caroso, the snake head, was on the other side of the court. The 6 -foot, 5 feet and 5 feet player reveals the Nags crime sometimes, and stole them from their confidence.
Caroso, the former US league champion, who was thunder last summer like this, ended with the highest excess of anyone on the field (+40). It helped forced the nuggets to commit 22 transformations, more than twice up to nine thunder. Thunder outperformed nuggets at fast pairing points, 27-14.
Nuggets collapsed after the first quarter, despite 20 points, nine rebounds and seven passes from Jokic, 19 points from Christian Brown and a brave show from Aaron Gordon, who played despite suffering a stagnation in game 6.
As for The Thunder, they are advancing to the first conference finals since 2016, with the 1st match against Minnesota Timberolovzat on Tuesday. Thunder will try to win his first title since the transition from Seattle in 2008.
Although they are young and unintended, they sent a strong message to the remaining three teams in the post -season.
