Denver trailed 87-56 at halftime after allowing the most points ever scored in a half of playoff basketball. The Thunder finished the night 56% from the field and 44% from 3-point range. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander led all scorers with 30 points on 11-of-13 shooting.

That is how Aaron Gordon reacted to Nikola Jokic fouling out in the third period for the first time in his career. That it came in Game 2 of the second round of the NBA Playoffs against the top-seeded Thunder made it even more exasperating.
