The Oklahoma City Thunder are more than just Kevin Durantand Russell Westbrook. Way more.

A game after scoring a combined 72 points, Oklahoma City’s All-Star duo got plenty of help from the rest of the Thunder to build a commanding first-half lead and beat the Denver Nuggets 106-89 in Game 2 on Wednesday night.

The first-round playoff series shifts to Denver on Saturday night with Oklahoma City leading 2-0.

“Everybody chipped in tonight,” said Durant, the NBA’s scoring champion the past two seasons. “That’s what we’re going to need.”

Durant scored 23 points and Westbrook added 21, but everyone else contributed to a dominant early stretch that propelled Oklahoma City to a 26-point lead early in the second quarter.

Ty Lawson scored 20 points to lead Denver, which could only get as close as 10 in the fourth quarter before Oklahoma City put the game away.

“We gave them too many minutes, too many possessions of they were totally in control,” Denver coach George Karl said. “They were energized, they were more physical, they were quicker, probably smarter. … The hole was just too big. When it looked like we could get it under 10, a 3-ball would go in or an offensive rebound would break our heart.”
