Murray's shot in the first half was really accurate, scoring 19 points in 8 of 11 shots. On the Clippers, Zubac and Dunn have 13 points and 11 points respectively. If the Clippers remain in this state after halftime break, this game will be in lingering. After the two teams came on the court again, the Nuggets continued to attack strongly. When Braun stole Harden and Jokic assisted Murray to make a three-pointer in the counterattack, the Nuggets 80-63 Clippers. The Clippers are in a scoring drought and can only make fouls and use free throws to score.

Murray made 17 of 26 shots in this game, scoring 43 points, 5 rebounds and 7 assists, Jokic had 13+10+12 triple-double, and Westbrook had 21 points. Leonard of the Clippers scored 20 points, 9 rebounds and 11 assists, Harden scored 3 of 9 points and only 11 points, with 4 turnovers and 4 fouls. After the Clippers lost the Battle of Tianwang Mountain, there are still unfavorable news. First, in such a critical game, Harden can't count on it. Harden's eyes were blurred in this game, he had a weak desire to attack, lacked enthusiasm, had few running, less fighting, and had no fighting spirit. There is a reason why Harden has not won the championship for so many years. The Clippers' owners have performed like this. How can they advance? Second, the Nuggets have already started to win two games in a row. Now many of them can stand up and score, and 6 players in this game scored in double digits. Jokic played relatively relaxed in this game, and he kept his strength to play the next game. In the 6th game, Jokic was likely to lead the Nuggets to eliminate the Clippers 4-2 after accumulating strength.
