Stellar defensive effort from Thunder lifts them over Nuggets to tie series 2-2

Wiggins and Wallace each added 11 points and Alex Caruso and Jalen Williams each scored 10. Williams was 2 for 13 from the floor after scoring 32 in Game 3.

The teams played a physical, overtime game Friday night, not leaving Ball Arena until the early morning hours on Saturday. And the early Mother’s Day start — 1:30 p.m. local time — led to some tired legs and a ton of errant shots.

Both teams went 3 for 22 from deep in the first half and they slumbered through a combined 25-point first quarter, which tied an NBA playoff record for fewest points in the opening quarter.

Oklahoma City was ahead 42-36 at the half.
