The Nuggets repeated two-thirds of the feat in the first round of the playoffs.
Mike Malone’s students also fell behind the Utah Jazz Club 1-3, but they managed to win three games in a row and moved on after winning the series.
When the Clippers easily won Game 4 of the series and took a 3-1 lead, it seemed like this time the Nuggets couldn’t recover. Especially since in both the fifth and sixth games of the series, the Los Angeles club had solid double-digit leads in the third quarter.
However, the Nuggets displayed a strong backbone and placed their favorite opponents at 111: 105 and 111: 98.
In this way, Denver snatched the seventh consecutive game of the second series, albeit 1-3, and became the first team to do so in the history of the league.
Plus, the Nuggets have a chance to become the first team to close the 1-3 span twice and win two sets in a row. So far, only 12 NBA teams have won the series overall after going 1-3, and the Nuggets are already one of them.
If the Nuggets fans, as well as Martynas Pocius, the club’s scout, shout with joy, then the Clippers fans are already beginning to bite their nails, remembering the club’s history, painted in dark colors.
The Los Angeles team can be unofficially dubbed the most unsuccessful organization in the entire NBA league.
Founded in 1970, it has never made it to the conference finals, and the last two games have been the sixth and seventh time the Clippers have lost a game that could have given them a ticket to the dream stage.
Even the 50-year period without the conference finals is the longest among all NBA teams – only the Charlotte Hornets and New Orleans Pelicans have not reached this stage, but have had less time to do so: 32 and 18 years, respectively.
While the Clippers will be considered vivid favorites in Game 7, the pressure on this team can become a major factor. At least that’s what my hero of the sixth game, Nikola Jokičius, thinks, killing the Los Angeles team with as many as 34 points and shots from the fictional field.
“We didn’t feel any pressure,” the Denver Center said after the win. “They feel all the pressure.”
The seventh game of the Western Conference semifinals will take place Tuesday night through Wednesday at 4 pm Lithuanian time. The winner of the pair’s conference final is already waiting for the Los Angeles Lakers team.
