The Denver team in this game was physical on both sides of the field, creating what they wanted, attacking and giving a good tone in defense.
“Obviously we were a different team,” Nuggets coach Michael Malone said after the game, comparing today’s team to the one that fell in the first game of the series.
Of course, the result was not the same when the Clippers knocked out opponents by 23 points.
Yamal Murray scored 27 points, Nikola Jokičius added 26 points and 18 rebounds.
“We were tired,” Murray recalled the first game of the series. “Then we were torn apart, exhausted, we didn’t collide with anything.”
He did hit tonight, though, when J. Murray and N. Jokičius hit just 20 pitches of 38.
Paul George scored 22 points for the Clippers, but was suspended by Kawhi Leonard, who scored 13 points, bounced 10 balls and had 8 assists.
It’s true that twice in the NBA Finals, the MVP made just 4 shots out of 17, even though he has scored at least 20 points in 27 of his 28 playoffs.
“It was too early to dig the 20-point hole,” Leonard said. – We can’t do that, but we should also praise our opponents. They entered the field aggressively on both sides of the field, played well and won.
At one point, the Los Angeles team’s deficit was 23 points, but in the fourth quarter the difference was only 5 points: Denver’s men did not fall any closer to their rivals.
“Nuggets”: J.Murray 27, N. Jokičius 26 (ref. 18), P.Millsap and G.Harris after 13, M.Porteris 11, M.Morris 10.
“Scissors”: P. George 22, I. Zubac 15 (9th ed.), K. Leonard (10th ed., 8th ed.) And L. Williams after 13, M. Morris 11, J. Green (11 pm) and M Harrell after 10.
