Yeah.
Timber was up 12 points when he checked out of the game, and they end up blowing the lead in the first quarter in that same quarter.
The Thunder took the lead.
Thankfully, Tim Hardaway Jr.
came to play.
He had back-to-back threes and another bucket, but A.J.
Mitchell matched him.
He was absolutely cooking in the first quarter.
40 to 37 nuggets in the first quarter.
Both teams, 37-plus points.
Insane.
Second quarter, though, is really the story that you referenced here.
Big Val and Aaron Gordon.
A.G.
and Jokic killing it all year, killing it in this game, killing it for five straight seasons.
You go to that lineup just trying to see what you got.
They have no backup center, so they were playing five perimeter players, and you go with two bigs, and it was just horrible minutes.
I mean, absolutely brutal.
Denver falls down by 10 points.
It was a lot of Murray.
