OKLAHOMA CITY — The only noises to be heard in “Loud City” early Sunday afternoon were nervous murmurs and clanging wayward jumpers, which is not at all what the Paycom Center crowd had in mind for the Oklahoma City Thunder’s biggest home game in nine years.

Oklahoma City routed Denver in a rowdy Game 7 atmosphere inside Paycom Center to advance to the next round. Let's take a look at three takeaways from the game.

Minnesota hadn't played in nearly a week and Oklahoma City had just played in a Game 7 two days earlier. It was the Timberwolves who lacked energy as the Thunder rolled to a 114-88 victory in Game 1 of the Western Conference finals on Tuesday night.
