'We were just sharper:' Mark Daigneault on Thunder's Game 2 response

After a disappointing Game 1 loss, the Oklahoma City Thunder answered emphatically in Game 2 with a 43-point win, and head coach Mark Daigneault was quick to highlight the how more than the what. “It wasn't about changing the plan,” Daigneault said after the game. The Thunder's improved paint protection and physicality slowed down the Nuggets' high-efficiency interior attack, including MVP Nikola Jokić.
