In the previous NBA Western Conference semi-finals G2, the Oklahoma City Thunder, who suffered a final victory in G1, outscored the Denver Nuggets with a advantage of 149 to 106. After this game, the Thunder also tied the total score of this round of series to 1-1, and both sides returned to the same starting line.

In this game, the performance of the Thunder's starting center Isaiah Hartenstein is impressive. Haltenstein played 22 minutes and 11 seconds in the whole game, 6 of 7 shots and 2 of 2 free throws. With super high efficiency, he scored comprehensive data of 14 points, 8 rebounds, 5 assists, 1 steal and 1 block. There was also a foul, with a plus-negative value of +19. Haltenstein had a stable feel on the offensive end, showing a pretty good score at the basket and seizing the opportunity to get a lot of points with limited shots. Haltenstein also showed quite good passing ability and support ability, and he also gave many wonderful passes to his teammates. In addition, Haltenstein also targeted restrictions on Nikola Jokic on the defensive end and had a good effect. Haltenstein does not play much, but his effect on the court is also visible to the naked eye, and he has also made considerable contributions to the team's victory.

In the NBA regular season this season, Haltenstein played a total of 57 games due to injuries in 82 games, averaging 27.9 minutes per game, averaging 11.2 points, 10.7 rebounds, 3.8 assists, 0.8 steals and 1.1 blocks, and 1.7 turnovers and 3 fouls. His shooting percentage was 58.7% and his free throw percentage was 67.5%. In the playoffs, Haltenstein averaged 24.2 minutes in the first six games, with averaging 10.3 points, 8.7 rebounds, 3.5 assists, 1 steal, 0.5 blocks, and 1.5 turnovers and 3 fouls. His shooting percentage was 63.6% and his free throw percentage was 75%.

Haltenstein performed quite well during the playoffs. He has stable scoring ability and finishing ability at the offensive end. His offensive efficiency can also be maintained at a good level. His performance in passing and supporting are also quite highlights, and he can also support the inside defense on the defensive end. Haltenstein's effect on the court is obvious to all, and he is indeed able to exert his value on both offense and defense. Haltenstein can be regarded as an all-round inside player with both offense and defense, and he also undertakes a lot of tasks on the court. Judging from the situation in these two games, Haltenstein may become a key figure in this round of the series, and his role in the team is also very critical. Can Haltenstein still maintain this level in the next game?
