Denver brought the Mile High heat, and the Clippers brought… well, confusion and jumpers that hit everything but net.
Last night in Denver, the Nuggets cooked the Clippers so thoroughly they should’ve been served with a side of ranch.
Nikola Jokic reminded everyone he’s a basketball savant disguised as a sleepy-looking magician. He dropped dimes, hit fadeaways like he was casually hooping at a Serbian barbecue, and made the Clippers’ defense look like background dancers to his one-man show.
The Clippers tried to bring the energy—but left it somewhere on the tarmac at LAX. Kawhi had flashes, but the rest of the squad looked like they were running Windows 95 while the Nuggets were on fiber optic Wi-Fi.
Jamal Murray? Hot. Aaron Gordon? Also hot. The Nuggets ball movement was smoother than a Spotify R&B playlist. Even the Denver bench was flexing, acting like every bucket was personal.
And the defense? Let’s just say Denver locked down the Clippers so hard, they’ll need therapy before Game 5. Every drive into the paint was met with a wall of mountain-sized resistance and a Jokic smirk.
By the fourth quarter, the Clippers looked like they were trying to solve a Rubik’s cube blindfolded. Final score? Let’s just call it “not close.”
