Mike Malone’s students, who fell short of the gap in the Western Conference semifinals, sped 17: 0 in Game 6 and 111: 98 (26:34, 21:29, 30:16, 34:19) defeated the Los Angeles Clippers, breaking Game 7 for the second time.
The score of up to four wins in the series became 3-3. The Nuggets also trailed 1-3 in the conference quarterfinals with the Utah Jazz, but then won three straight games and advanced to the semifinals.
After Kawhi Leonard realized his penalties in the third quarter, the Clippers had control in their hands and led more confidently: 73:55, but scored just 6 points in the remaining minutes of the ninth quarter.
At that moment, like a phoenix rising from the ashes, the Nuggets scored as many as 17 points without responding and came close by one point: 72:73.
After that, Malone’s army rushed in again 17: 5 and weighed the scale in his direction – 91:84. The 3-pointers by Garry Harris and Nikola Jokičius, with 2 minutes remaining in the game, finally finished the Los Angeles men – 109: 93.
Nobody scored 34 points in 40 minutes (9/16 two, 4/6 trit, 4/5 penalty), bounced 14 balls, made 7 assists, made 5 errors and scored 40 utility points.
Yamal Murray scored 21 points (8/11 double, 1/2 trit, 2/3 penalty).
The duo of Kawhi Leonardo and Paul George scored 58 points (17/39 shots) and 14 rebounds. The remaining five starters scored 9 points, Ivica Zubac grabbed 12 balls.
The winners of this pair will compete against the Los Angeles Lakers in the final of the Western Conference.
