Denver (AP) – not this time.
Nicolas Gokic received a lot of help from his teammates and Denver’s bounce to score in the explosion of the 120-101 Los Angeles Clippers in the 7 Game Laugher game on Saturday evening.
Nuggets led up to 35 years, and while the largest explosion explosion in a winning scenario or at home will not be compensated last year when Denver detonated progress in the fourth quarter of 20 points on Minnesota at home in the game 7 of the second round series of the second round, it secretes some of these demons.
“It is a good thing, but I also know that we are flying to OKC tomorrow,” said David Adeleman.
Nuggets, ranked No. 4, applied to Oclahma City City Thunder, the first and well -reprehensible, which swept Memphis in the first round and had spent a week heading to the second round series that starts on Monday night.
When Adelman recently reminded that the reward for surviving this exciting series with The Clippers was an appointment with the team that won the best 68-14 in the US Professional League, his friend replied that what was awaiting the winner was a 72-14 team.
“Well, this is true,” Adeleman replied. “We appreciate that, brother.”
Nuggets and Thunder divided their 2-2 series of season and if Denver managed to reproduce her effort from Saturday night, the next series may be also narrow.
Jokic got 16 points, 10 rebounds and eight decisive passes in 33 minutes, but in order to change his teammates. Aaron Gordon Denver was led with 22 points, Christian Brown was 21, Jamal Murray, Arsen Westprook in 16, and Michael Porter Junior recorded 15 years old.
“In the qualifiers, we know that everyone needs to advance, offensive, defensive, whatever it is, in terms of energy. And everyone who plays needs to contribute anything,” said Jokic. “Today it was special, the players did it.”
Brown also played a great defense on James Harden, who was held to 7 points on 2 of 8 of the shooting.
“Everyone allowed me to guard him. But I think the biggest part was Russian,” Brown said. “He played against James, he played with James, so he knows his game.
Kawahi Leonard Los Angeles led with 22 points, and Evica Zobak had a calm in the series with 10 points.
“I don’t think this team was the 30 best points of us,” Leonard said. “We have seen this throughout the first six games of this series, but you have to give them credit. They went out, ran strongly in a transition, and got easy points and made shots.”
He was commenting on Nuggets throughout the season, which included the shooting of their main coach and General Manaire, in the game 7 in the second round of last year only when it seemed to be prepared to defend the first American professional league championship.
After getting rid of the 22-points feature in the fourth quarter in the game 4 of this series-only it is rescued by the first Dink, who wanders in the American Professional League in the history of the American Professional League, courtesy of Gordon-Najat and the crowd of the ball is increasing alive only instead of anxiety with the emergence of the lead and the violation continued to lose it.
Nuggets outperformed La 72-40 during the second and third quarters, and this hole was blown up by a 17-0 opening in the third quarter after Leonard started the second half with 3 Index to reduce Los Angeles deficit to 58-50.
“The apostasy and defense were amazing,” said Jokic. “We have had a lot of opportunities to run, a lot of players ascended and many players who made baskets.”
After getting the third, fifth and fifth mistakes over 48 seconds late in third place, Jokic went to the bench. Nuggets started celebrating early in the fourth quarter when Westbroook took a good mind to swing on the edge after it was stolen and Dunk Dunk put Denver to 107-76.
With the permission of the team owner, Steve Palmer, more than 100 Clippers fans were transferred to Denver and collected behind a basket to provide additional noise. They were noisy when Cleibers occupied the progress 26-21 after a quarter of them, but they were confusing like the Los Angeles seat, like Nags fled with it.
