The Clippers have won 3 games in the Nuggets, and the Lakers have won only 1 game in 2 years. What a pity

The playoffs continue. After the Knicks won the Pistons today, the total score was 4-2 to advance to the next round. With the Knicks' advancement, all the matches in the Eastern Conference semi-finals have been released. In addition to the Thunder and the Timberwolves, there are two sets of confrontations in the West that did not decide the winner.

The Rockets led 3-2 against the Warriors, only one step away from the semi-finals. The series between the Clippers and the Nuggets is the most fiercely competitive group in the playoffs. Today, the Clippers defeated the Nuggets 111-105 at home and successfully dragged the series into 7.

After the game, the US media once again showed a set of data, and the Lakers were completely caught in the shootout. In this playoffs, the Clippers have won three games, and in the past two years, the Lakers have only won one victory in total.

From 2023 to 2025, the Lakers' playoff record against the Nuggets was 1 win or 8 losses, with a winning rate of only 12.5%, which is a terrible sight. Among them, they were swept in the 22-23 season (14.7 points per game), and 1-4 in the second round of the 23-24 season (G3's only win depends on James 40 + triple-double to extend his life);

The biggest change is the performance of Jokic and Murray's dual cores. When the Lakers played against the Nuggets in the past two years:

could not defend against Yomu's pick-and-roll: Murray averaged 28.6 points per game;

three-point shooting percentage in the 2023 Western Conference Finals was only 30.2%

substitute weak: Average loss to the Nuggets' substitute by 10.3 points per game.

This 3-3 stalemate series not only allowed fans to see the resilience of the Clippers, but also exposed the Lakers' failure in building the team in the past two years. When the Clippers use their younger lineup to deal with the Nuggets, the Lakers are still relying on 40-year-old James to support it. Perhaps, the Purple Gold Legion really should reflect on it.
