Kevin Durant went unconscious and scored 51 points in the game. This performance came on the back of a ridiculous 19-of-28 shooting. Durant was also money from the 3-point line and went 5-6 from beyond the arc. This was the 2-time Finals MVP's first 50-point game and the Nuggets' defenders were left scratching their heads.

Russell Westbrook also exploded with 40 points of his own on a 16-29 shooting and the Thunder defeated the Nuggets, 124-118 in overtime.
