The first round series between the LA Clippers and Denver Nuggets continued on Monday night at the Ball Arena. The Nuggets escaped Game 1 with a 112-110 overtime win, with the Clippers failing to close things out in the fourth quarter. Turnovers also played a key part in their heartbreaking defeat.
Coach Ty Lue didn’t make adjustments to his starting five for Game 2. It still featured James Harden, Kris Dunn, Norman Powell, Kawhi Leonard and Ivica Zubac. They needed to take care of the ball more to avoid another 20-turnover games.
Meanwhile, interim coach David Adelman used a starting lineup consisting of Jamal Murray, Christian Braun, Michael Porter Jr., Aaron Gordon and Nikola Jokic. The Nuggets escaped with the win, but the main talking point was Jokic’s comments about MPJ’s efforts.
