Though the zig-zag worked in Game 2 in this series, we're not sure it's going to work again as OKC suggested it is about to take control in that 149-106 rout (and it wasn't that close) on Wednesday. Though Nikola Jokic can be granted an occasional mulligan as the case on Wednesday when enduring an "off night" (by his standards) of 17 points, but Denver is going to need at least one and probably two of its non-0Jamal Murray "others" (Aaron Gordon, Christian Braun, Russell Westbrook, and Michael Porter Jr) to make significant contributions, and not to go a combined 6 for 28 as the case in Game 2. Meanwhile, SGA was dominant in Game 2 (34 points in just 30 minutes) and got a lot more help from his friends than did the Joker, as the Thunder's edge in this matchup remains its quality depth, forcing Denver to play a near-perfect game (or perfect 4th Q, as in Game One) to get back ahead in this series.
