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.

As Jaylin Williams jawed at Russell Westbrook a couple of times, the OKC crowd had a spiritual moment as they booed their all-time franchise leader and cheered on their backup center. An unreal scene to see unfold.
