NBA Monday Night
LA Clippers vs Denver Nuggets
Game 3
After losing Game 1 in uninspiring fashion due to a number of factors, including some outside of Denver’s control, the Nuggets bounced back in Game 2, blindsiding the Los Angeles Clippers in the first quarter and never relinquishing the lead after the fact. Denver made up for Game 1 in so many ways, one of which was to establish themselves as a team the Clippers couldn’t take lightly. Nikola Jokic and Jamal Murray weren’t to be trifled with, and even as the Clippers loaded up on the two stars in the second half, Denver’s role players made enough shots in the second half to prove the Clippers weren’t guaranteed a win with anything less than an A-level performance.
The Clippers may or may not be better than the Nuggets, but the Nuggets are certainly good enough to win games in this series if they force the Clippers out of their element. They did that in Game 2. Is it repeatable in Game 3?
