Kola Jokic and the Nuggets out in L A to
take on the Clippers who are playing without Kawhi Leonard
in this one in the first quarter. It's Jokic
tossing a full court outlet up to Quintus called,
well, Pope for the lamp in transition, Denver
by nine and adding to that lead through, of
course, Jokic who it's the turnaround shot the lead
up to a dozen. Now, Russell Westbrook trying
to go high off the glass goes just a little
bit too high on this one. This one goes
over the glass at that point. Denver was up
by 15. Paul George knocking down the catch and
shoot three cuts the lead down to 11 and then
Russell Westbrook, Redeems himself, watch him go up
for the stuff on this alley. Oop, just
bringing it home. Here comes Russell again off the
dish from Norm Powell and it's the Clippers up by
11 later, James Harden working on his step back
game and that's beautifully done as the Clippers take a
four point lead into the locker room. 5349 3rd
quarter. It's George blowing by the defense for the
lay in there. It's 6655. Then Harden throws
the lob and there goes Russell Westbrook again for the
gym. Look at him, climb the elevator and
stuff that one in and it's 7366 off the Nuggets
turnover. It's Westbrook once more. Look at him
, race out in transition and finish at the rim
there and it's the Clippers by night or Denver,
Michael Porter junior shoots and appears to be fouled by
Avia Zat Mike Malone. Denver's coach not pleased at
all on this play. No foul called. He
gets two technical fouls and is ejected from the game
later in the fourth Nikola Jokic working down low,
getting the lay up there. Then Aaron Gordon to
Jokic for the three, he had 36 points,
17 rebounds. 10 says Clippers up by two.
Now Denver one last chance inbound come to Jokic and
a long heave three like he made in Golden State
. This time is off and the Clippers hang on
to win it by two final score in this 1102
to 100.
