CARLSON: How Jaylin Williams foiled Nikola Jokic and set tone for Thunder rout vs Nuggets in Game 2 SGA, Thunder set the tone early on with a historic first half A composed Shai Gilgeous-Alexander proclaimed that OKC "should be good" following Monday's Game 1 loss.

Jaylin Williams went from playing less than 3 minutes in Game 1 to changing the tenor of Game 2 — and maybe the tone of the Thunder-Nuggets playoff series.

The Thunder evened their second-round series with the Nuggets on Wednesday 149-106. After Nikola Jokic had a spectacular Game 1 performance, he was a shell of his usual self in Game 2, and the Thunder’s ability to get him into foul trouble was a key reason.
