The Clippers of Denver Nuggets and Los Angeles are engaged in the most competitive first round series of the NBA 2025 qualifiers. Then the match 7 arrived, and the Nuggets absolutely beat the mower.
In a superb victory of the eruption, Denver destroyed Los Angeles, 120-101, to go to the second round of the playoffs. The Nuggets were up 11 at halftime and left the locker room ready to fight; The mowers were not. The Nuggets outstripped the clippers 35-19 in the third quarter to take a 27-point lead that they did not give up. It was only in the last five minutes of the fourth district that Los Angeles was able to fill the gap a little, with the crowd of the bench showing the energy that beginners failed to bring to the table.
It was very unexpected after such a narrow series and the world of the NBA reacted appropriately, marveling by the dominant victory of Denver.
An eruption in what is supposed to be a game 7 in force is always so anticlimatic lol

The clippers find it in a way a way to make people believe in them each year after having proven itself many times.

This period of the year when the clippers come back early and everyone remembers why Kawhi should never have left Toronto. pic.twitter.com/leaexofbzz

It was the mowers “things went well for once”.
Kawhi healthy. Harden always an All-Star. Zubac finally obtains an appropriate credit. Nailed the intersane movements on the margins.
And they still lost against the nuggets “Fired Our Coach and GM three weeks ago”. Idk where they go from there.

Clippers lost in 7 against the Nuggets in 2020, waited 5 years to do Kawhi again in a series of playoffs, then lost against nuggets in 7

It was a massive crisis in the nuggets put on the mowers. I did not think that Denver would bounce back as well as they have this series. They were implacable on the boards all the series. OKC will present different problems, but this is the problem of tomorrow. Today, take advantage of victory.

A difficult end in the season for the Clippers.
The Nuggets will face Oklahoma City Thunder’s n Β° 1 in the second round of the western conference qualifiers from Monday.
