The Clippers lost in the seventh quarter! The Clippers miserable defeat in the Nuggets exposed two incredible and three indisputable facts!

In the NBA playoffs, the series between the Clippers and the Nuggets came to the tiebreak. For both teams, neither of them wants to miss the opportunity to advance to the next round. So who will win this game? Let's review this game together:

The first quarter, Jones Jr. scored seven points in a row, and Braun, the Nuggets, also won the team's first five points. Jokic was in poor form and made 0 of 5 in the first quarter and made 2 mistakes. In the second quarter, the Clippers encountered trouble in their offense. They only scored two points in the first four minutes, and Westbrook ushered in an explosion. They made three-pointers, made kills, and assisted Gordon dunk. Under his leadership, the Nuggets scored 10-2 to complete the overtake. The score difference has since reached double digits. At the end of the half, the Clippers were 11 points behind.

Returned from a short halftime break, Leonard made a three-pointer first, and the Nuggets responded, scoring a 17-0 offensive to widen the gap to more than 20 points. In this quarter, the Clippers' scoring continued to decline by less than 20 points. Although Jokic had five fouls before the end of the third quarter, it had already lost its impact on the results of the game. The Nuggets scored six points in the final quarter and broke through 30 points. In the end, the Nuggets defeated the Clippers 120:101 and reached the Western Conference semi-finals.

The first incredible: Even if Jokic performs poorly, the Nuggets can still win. In this game, Jokic only scored 16 points, 10 rebounds and 8 assists. Such data can be said to be a huge loss of standard for Jokic. Maybe it was because he had reached the seventh game, which consumed too much for Jokic. Fortunately, the Nuggets' team played well, making up for the poor performance of Yok's teacher.

The second incredible: Harden of the Clippers performed too poorly. In the whole game, Harden only got 7 points and 13 assists. His plus or negative value was -29 because his bad performance was wasted, and Leonard performed well in the first half. But relying solely on Leonard's performance is not enough, Harden did not give a dominant performance.

This game also exposed three indisputable facts

First) Nuggets' acting coach Adelman is still lacking in quality. Although the Nuggets won the Clippers, some of Adelman's on-site commands are still not mature enough. For example, at the last moment, he was already 30 points ahead and was chased by the Clippers to 20 points, and he was even forced to put the main lineup in a way that he had to suppress the rhythm. If it weren't for the opponent's coach Tyron Lue being even worse than him, Adelman's command would probably have made the Nuggets suffer. No wonder Jokic had a lot of complaints about his command.

2) Basketball is a young team project, and the Clippers' star tactics do not work. Look at the Nuggets' team playing style, it is smooth and enjoyable. Even if Jokic performed poorly, he had already won the game with the collective performance of Murray, Gordon, and even Westbrook. On the other hand, if one of the Clippers performs abnormally, then the game will be basically out of reach. Moreover, these two are not young anymore, and their injuries and physical fitness are both problems. The previous style of star playing has no longer worked.

Third) How far the Nuggets can go this season depends on the performance of the role players. In this game, Westbrook scored 16 points and 5 assists, which helped the team provide enough energy on the back line. Aaron Gordon scored 22 points, and he consumed the Clippers' Leonard's physical fitness very well. Brian also scored 21 points, which can be said to be the number one player in the Nuggets' fast attack. The performance of role players can greatly alleviate Jokic's offensive and defensive pressure and ensure the overall offensive and defensive rhythm of the team.
