Manage episode 479423548 series 3524464
The Nuggets-Clippers playoff series has delivered incredible drama with four unique games showcasing championship-level resilience. Aaron Gordon's historic game-winning buzzer-beating dunk saved Game 4 and tied the series 2-2, becoming the first playoff buzzer-beating dunk in NBA history.
• Game 1 featured Westbrook's redemption with crucial three-pointers against his former team
• Despite Kawhi Leonard's dominance in Game 2, MPJ contributed 15 points and 15 rebounds before a late turnover and shoulder injury
• Clippers dominated Game 3 with hot three-point shooting, winning by 34 points
• Denver built a 22-point lead in Game 4 before exhaustion allowed LA back in, setting up Gordon's miracle finish
• Jokić is averaging approximately 28 points, 13 rebounds, and 10 assists despite facing constant double teams
• The entire team is battling through injuries - MPJ playing through what should be a 4-5 week absence
• A confrontation between Harden and Christian Brown united the Nuggets, similar to the 2020 playoff comeback
• Denver's thin bench and late-night start times (10-10:30 PM ET) create additional challenges
• The series winner will face a well-rested Oklahoma City team that swept Memphis
