seed Denver Nuggets the winner here tolerance management injury at this point defense at one end and dead the opening tip and here comes James Harden he'll have Christian Brown on him and the Clippers who have won two straight games and have momentum in this series leonard working on Gordon with a series of moves and a throwaway turnover here comes Murray into Norman Powell brown will tip it up and in for the Nuggets nice start by Denver and if you can score from your defense nice turnover there and Murray off to the races powell to Zubox and Porter is on him it's Harden with the shot clock down to four in the corner done and they'll give Looks like they're going to give Brown wide open looks for Denver yic and Zubox Michael Porter Jr shoulder and all as Alagus talked about with Harden the other way harden has played well in this series and kicks it in zuba cutting done the taller Yogic inside and it's off to Murray he'll leave he was held he'll fire on the fly and it's a foul called before the shot and it's on round to inbound here comes Gordon gordon will defend and up and under for two more that's one coach Adam can kind of exploit especially with James Harden on Aaron Gordon in the post they put Harden he puts Zubox in the corner for power and that's what Harden has done through creating this matches nice pass there by Joic brown can't get the finish right at the rim he had a chance harden the other way and Gordon will be defending James Harden who slithers in picked up by Gordon on the miss here comes Dendro murray looks around he's open from three leonard got the rebound leonard will take it down court he'll fake the three drive into Gordon with a nice hesitation and shoe box has got the rebound here come the Subox the rebound ry Leonard out here playing with 110 to shoot good afternoon from Los Angeles with an over the four seed Denver Nuggets so the shooting so far for both teams not that good clippers one of eight have started denver has started three of eight they go inside joic is there murray the assist and with four minutes down in this and then it all went sideways seven minutes out of that first quarter harden like a pinball taking it inside bump the winner of this series will take on the Oklahoma City Thunder the number one seed in the NBA who just swept Memphis twirling subox inside catch it to go he has had a magnificent season has gone down for this Clipper team when Kawaii missed so much time and then they trade Paul Dor Zubot they started running plays for him they got more comfortable with him and they understand the value he brings to this Clipper team clippers are up two games to one in this series with Murray on top seven and a half in the first joic will spin on Zubox out to Porter bad shoulder and all the three is down let's bring in Alley Le force real quick to talk about it's significantly wrapped up michael Porter Jr is playing through an extremely painful left shoulder sprain he suffered it in game two and coach Adam said he couldn't believe he even played through it in game three he's in so much pain but it's a pain management injury at this point so it's wrapped up but hey even Michael another turnover by the Clippers threeon one it goes off to Brown they got wedged up there on the feed from Porter here comes Harden crosscourt that long reach he vacuums it in and Porter's got the rebound yeah but it's those type of possessions and fast breaks that Denver have to have here's one by Joic with the finger roll so that's backto back largest lead in this series up by nine right now a lot of isolation here to start this game offensively for the Clippers harden coming off a 20-point game zubat's on top with a couple double doubles he throws it inside the lane it was picked off by Joic it is a Denver foul at the 604 mark of this first quarter this afternoon from Los Angeles the fouls on Porter it is his first there were no season it's Powell he'll put up a long shot it's a three rebound dunn kicks it out harden with the three give credit to Chris Dunn one of the better offensive rebounding guard opportunity for James Harden and the Clippers denver lost game three 11783 here in this building that's a push by Harden it's a foul on James murray hits the deck harden picks up his for being down 2-1 he told us Reggie we got to have more patience and be less reactionary murray inside sws inside tip in there joic puts it through that's going to have to have a huge game leonard play by Kawawaii jamal Murray huge especially during that championship run he's got to be a big factor offensively here for Denver murray had 23 in game three harden will be on him zubots will go out on Yic off to Brown sets fires three no rebound Harden they will give Brown those shots all series long in the corner done free for three he parachutes and slams leonard coming out of nowhere with those big mid hands and finishing murray held by Dunn yogic trying to block him out does shot clock at six murray into Zubots no it's picked up by Harden pow thought three drives into Yic crosscourt done three from three it's Murray inside boy Dunn has had three great corner looks gordon pile drives his way down the lane gordon has got four it's Zubots on top and here comes James Harden 35year-old former MVP Brown is on him shot clock at one for Zubots somewhere kareem Abdul Gibbar is smiling at Zub defending he jumped he came down he drives oh he's getting bushnacked inside but he got it to go that's 10 out of 10 degree of difficulty there by Jamal Murray one of five so far for him here comes Leonard and Porter's on him doubled by Gordon with the blitz they'll give it to him don is open fakes the three off to Zubox and on top to Powell what a remarkable season he's had he as he glides in for two what a beautiful euro he has been fantastic in the starting role gordon open from three and Aaron Gordon puts it in 15 points nice so we're doing a good job taking care of the ball we just got to continue to do it for four quarters defensively how are you forcing them into the shot selection that you want to see but they shot under 40% as a team in that first quarter we're picking up we're being physical i think last game we weren't physical enough to do it thanks C of course thank you nice play by DeAndre Jordan moments ago for Denver slamming it in against the team that he played for for so long the LA Clippers rating when Joic is on the floor they are a plus 10 and a half when he's off a minus 9.3 climbing in to Jones somehow someway he willed it in blocker Jordan what a beautiful move there by Jones the secondyear picket is in the game deandre Jordan with the screen porter on the floor they've also got on the floor Payton Watson and Murray that's the Denver five it's out to Porter fakes the three takes it in lot of traffic underneath he was looking for Jordan knocked away foul called on the Clippers inside with about a minute gone here in the at the free throw line is DeAndre Jordan 10 seasons of Clipper numbers the lowest free throw percentage by an opposing team when looking at the wall shooting free throws yeah but even if the wall wasn't there with DeAndre Jordan those those still would be 0 for two you know let's not get ahead of ourselves i was just trying to help a veteran all created those two misses there by Jordan here's Kawi bodanovich 13footer simmons will try to save it and does not out of bounds with the ball he is slow to get up fell in a photog and he jumps back up and hurdles his body down court and here come pick it around traffic kdanovich is there a fake a lean and a fade away jordan trying to get it that's another Clipper foul inside he had defenders trained on both shoulders the produce a little bit in that center position and Jordan's doing just that murray three struggling one of six now for Murray simmons the long strides the bad pass to Bdonovich saves it from going over the line and the veteran Bondovic eight years out of Serbia will weave his way into the pain and overp the bench here and just be aggressive offensively trade deadline acquisition by the Clippers crossover Murray inside off hand fouled as he was swaggering down the lane with on Ben Simmons he's not played that much wondering how many minutes has he even played here four minutes three fouls and then will check out and they'll go back series after combining their third consecutive 50 win season see if Kawaii now can kind of get going games two and three very efficient in terms of scoring the basketball only two of six to start this ball game they were Blitz and Leonard zubants on top derek Jones over Jordan how about the length Jared Jones on Jamal Murray here comes Murray with games of 23 23 and 21 in this series doubling him there they swing it around watson tapped out by Jordan but right back to Bodonovich the stutter step the jab and the two-point shot murray will come up with it and he's off to the races nuggets down the middle led by Jamal Murray off to Porter oh a swarm of defenders right there it's Picket and Murray again and Jones is on him and the shot clock is down to eight murray the stutter step in the drive inside it's been there by Vanovich the two open three yeah that's evolved the most he said teams are double teaming me now so just reading the defense seeing where the cutters are seeing where the shooters are and making the right play and then when they don't double me going to work the most fascinating thing he told me was when we play a team we pull Nola Joic clips of what they did against him and how he passes and plays out of it and that's where I learned how to be a great player in the post so he's taken a couple notes from the Joker averaging a double double here he is they go inside leonard sideswiped as he fired he's slow to get up but he does get up each team now has put up about 30 shots they've made 13 under eight to go second quarter gordon out to Porter ac joint sprain left shoulder but that one right there sails through from three second made through noon here by Porter Jr showing no ill side effects from that shoulder injury clipper bench outscoring the Denver bench 14-3 jin Watson out brown in in the corner bdovic free rebound by Joic yogic putting together one of the greatest individual seasons in the history of the NBA with the ball taken right there here's Bogdanovich it's Pat the trailing Jones and Zubat inside rebound Joic he's got six three time MVP Joic leonard defending Gordon gets the net oh I can't believe it it looked like all he did was pull the chair and Gordon went down on top and he defends Joic who takes it hard into two up and down nicole Joic with a big time bulldozing play 11 jones in the corner of a two three rebound jones off his fingertip gordon will come out of the pack and he'll go the other way for the Nuggets brown inside they'll sail and hammer it home the Clippers one look at the basket and it's off to the races remember during the regular season this Nugget team was number one in pace denver's on a seven nothing run in the corner kawawaii a three can get him going for Kawawaii and that's going to be another foul on Kawi Leonard his second yep trying to dislodge Aaron Gordon denver's now in the bonus it's the regular season three and four they fired their coach Michael Malone reggie bring us back a little bit and and give us your thoughts on how the time 11 years and then the news dropped of you know noise coming out of Denver is that he had lost the locker room what I love and I've always loved about Michael Malone he always held the players accountable calvin Bo sent the door as well leonard three it's off of Denver ricochets and throws it away with a turnover brown got it and he'll take it the other way for Denver off to Murray here's a three batum the rebound one of and again I know people are saying nice over top look there by Harden to Leonard yes Murray has scored 20 plus points in the first three games of the series but they have not been those impactful points that we're used to seeing by Murray Murray a 15-footer with a lot of traffic who has nine points grabs the ball takes it the other way slides into throws by Gordon puts up the shot and picked up five to Oh it's Joic subox will defend into Gordon knocked away by Harden five joic inside he's six of seven regs and two assists in game three LA made 18 threes harden will dive and score it looks like coach Lou is almost taking the We're not good all right get to our spots take our time murray it's a two and Denver's on top by six led by nine subox at the other end for LA there's a timeout and 343 to go in the second quarter offensively minimal turnovers was the key for them they said they didn't mind the heightened intensity that led to the bicker the fight whatever word you want to use to call what happened right before the half obviously they don't want punches to be thrown but they like that it brought out 31 to this same Clipper team in the bubble and found a way to come back in the winter gordon gets a screen there's a switch on defense with Zubat and Joic inside doubled and fires he is now seven of nine he's got sevens three assists and he extends the lead of the Nuggets to four they've led by nine it's Kawawaii on top and Gordon is there chris Dunn Norman Powell he has been quiet he'll slither through the defensive set for the Nuggets and a foul on Denver less than a minute shot 42% from distance but his role now though has changed years and seeing his steady growth what happens to a player like what what do they learn along that journey to get to where he is right now in his 10th season number one in the league he was known just as a 3 and D guy and really just defense coming off the bench really worked on his offense is a champion in Toronto winning that versus Golden State and now in a trusted system with a trusted team leonard the other way three defenders are right there tough to get out of the box but he got it will it count it won't count out but man how did he get that to go to Kawo inbound just a miracle with that bulky knee that he is out here doing what he's doing missed 34 games but has come in flourish second half of the season harden is on top on the side long shot three is hoisted no good by Dunn picked up by Murray he had one tie at 31 porter three good michael Porter Jr ac joints luckily for him it's not his shooting shoulder and he knocks one in right there from three his third three of the afternoon harden and Brown oh it's in pocketed by Brown with a foul yeah well that means like that harden's had a rough afternoon just two field goals four turnovers joic outside zubots on the perimeter now done now Zubat Porter joic three and the rebound was picked up by Dunn and James Harden the other way gordon will defend harden will put it up on the fly tapped away by Joic right back to Pal and a throw on the fly the teardrop will go the other way quickly brown bumping into Pal out of bounds off of the Clippers not only do you do the tear drop but you're the first fabulous move there by Pal seven consecutive playoffs for Denver charging inside hard and missing on the doorstep joic second time in this half that he has missed two right there starters out there for both teams brown and Powell yic in the corner with a fake and Dunn flies by well that's why you challenge and you get a three out of it so instead of it four-point possession now you get a three out of it instead of two game high 20 so far for Joic driving hard pow kicks corner kawaii three good answer second made three done watching Joic doubled by Powell corner brown they swing it around porter three short harden on the move pow will wants a triple murray with the rebound for the Nuggets wing gordon collides spins kicks murray the cutting brown up and off and in on the retrieval by Christian Brown christian Brown just does all the rebound put back he can get it done leonard is wheeling for that shot and Joic will lead the charge for the Nuggets with Porter finding Gordon for the three in the corner and again is there on his pogo stick and bouncing back up to 12 now for Brown four rebounds back-to- back offensive rebounds and put back clippers have won 10 of 11 since the end of March it's on the floor it's loose right there it's vacuumed in by Powell Kawhi one hand pass to with a nice pirouette for two with a dribble hand off high screener roll between Murray and Yogic murray made the switch he's two of 11 tapped by Gordon saved by Brown caught by Yogic taken by Leonard it'll roll he'll take it in he sets for a three and hands to Dunn and the Clippers will set and Brown is on Kawaii and doubled by Gordon done nice defense well they're doubling every time off of Dun Powell crossover in the drive prom defended well murray's got the ball here comes Porter over and back over and back leonard Gordon will go at it and Ver will offer his defense and Dun is left free at the line and free for a reason norman P will rattle out the three porter with the rebound rebounding in this game clippers are on top by three they had 10 more in game three which is a part of their decisive 34-point win corner three porter good what a shot and he had a defender there and not playoff high in this series with 15 four made threes for Michael Porter Jr clippers are shooting under 40% here comes Harden going through tried to scoop inside lost nuggets again crowding picked up joic the other way he slips he's down he's fouled and Murray joic and over Zubox with a great touch and he's got 22 and a 92 Nugget run huge game for Denver 10 to 12 the Clippers in the third quarter paton inside zubots over the smaller move nice match recognize that with on the evening with seven rebounds for Zubot each team has hit seven threes denver though is getting easier points plus six in the paint plus five fast break plus seven at the line remember they were dominated in game three in points in the paint knocked away brown retrieves shot clock at one he'll fire and hit there by Batum harden has been quiet zubox gets the cut in Leonard oh Abraabra what a play somehow someway kept his composure and puts it up in a dive free throw shooter 21 in game three 39 in game two it'll trickle off fanduel wide point spread for our game this afternoon began at minus 6 and a half and right now Watson into Yic who got tangled up fouled on the play as he was trying to maneuver and he'll go to the free throw line well was a Zubot scoring to the bench in Joic who hits that joic has had 20 points or more 13 rebounds and five assists and again he's working on back-to back triple doubles and was a rebound away from a triple double in game one harden got a screen it's Simmons in the corner finding Batum rebound Murray and Denver the other way three and a half in the third murray will probe and feed yogic will drive hard with authority into the paint it'll drop inside for another 22 26 soft touch for you not that it was lost but when you lose by 34 it can't help but shake you but at the end of the day it's only one game yeah 34 you're right you came here to recapture home court and you're on your way now but there's a lot to game to be played here a ton here's Harden derek Jones on the perimeter will stop at the line he had a Porter rebound except for Watson he is the lone bench player out there to begin the fourth for the Denver Nuggets the four seed against the five seed LA Clippers joic oh if you don't send help this is easy money you got to send help that's too low 33 33 points for Joic on the fly three harden no watson with a nice lunging rebound for LA yogic and now Gordon he's working inside on Kawawaii with the left hand here got his own miss brown is free the three and he can't stick it it's picked up by Kawawaii crossover Leonard to the hole off balance there's a foul called in there missed the first 34 of this season but from that point on he has really picked up momentum and especially since March perfect place at the perfect time here in these playoffs you saw game two 15 of 19 16 points they go inside watson is there contorting and he gets his own miss shot clock at eight joic through debris outside porter three off balance it's a rebound by Zubots here comes Harden Boddanovich inside and staking its claim Kawi Leonard and Ally he is winning percentage is 5A and him being healthy in the postseason has been a long time coming and we asked coach Lou about it he didn't even say he was happy for the team or himself he said I'm just happy for Kawaii he has such a winner's mentality he will do whatever it takes to win he's not looking for stats if he doesn't touch the ball in a six or seven possession stretch he doesn't care as long as it's working and he also cares about his teammate success i mean he called him the ultimate guy to have on your roster brown takes it in rebound by Zubots ahead it goes Leonard the release and oh it was knocked away by Gordon what a play by Gordon the other way brown through his hands fumbles it away aaron Gordon not giving up defensively harden trying to be more than he is with the two on the run fouled on the play send him to the line then 10 points four for 17 combined from that back court for the Clippers it is a seven nothing run right now for the Clippers approaching nine to play in this fourth quarter jones is on Murray screen by Gordon sububox comes out to assist joic is there kawawaii's on him shot clock at three brown underneath what a pass by Joic he got eight assists for Joic and Brown with 17 after scoring nine in game three and five in game two and Zub's on the move and he has got 15 points for the Clippers murray continues to struggle from the field three of 13 0 of three from three kevin Brown and his points that's what Murray should be doing way outside with the three-point drive but a Zubat's rebound will trigger for the Clippers the other way in the corner kawawaii great footwork in the corner opposite side jones three no it's another rebound by Joic the isolation the feed to Jones an open triple and Zubat over the back of Yok leading on its starting group well they only played six guys in game one so this is nothing new for the Nuggets and a continuous story of the season remember no West tonight he's out with that foot injury logage three and the rebound by Pal and a loose foul foul called on Zubots or Yeah or was it on Kawaii by 22 they've never trailed in the game zubox and Joic doing a dance picked up by Leonard kawawaii with Harden on top sheds Gordon goes by Joic and scoops it home pretty play by James Harden a lot of
