101: 120! The Clippers were out of the game with three people, Harden angered the fans, Xiao Ka tried his best, and a substitute slapped in the face

On May 4, 2025, the NBA playoffs are in progress, and the Nuggets play against the Clippers at home. The two sides tied 3:3 in the first six games. After winning the Battle of Kings Mountain, the Nuggets returned to the home court of the Clippers. Under the leadership of the three giants Harden, Kat and Zubac, the team played a perfect offensive and defensive performance, and finally won a big victory, dragging the game into a tiebreak battle. Today's game is facing a situation where you will be eliminated if you lose. Both sides should not be underestimated. Tyron Lue took the lead in changing the team. The two teams were hard to solve in the first quarter, but the Nuggets completely suppressed the Clippers, and in the end, the Clippers suffered a crushing defeat of 101:120 and missed the second round.

1, the Nuggets suppressed the Clippers, and Trenlu's timeout was useless, and a shameful defeat was won.

Tyron Lue changed the team first, and he sent the starting five Tigers of Harden, Ka Jr., Powell, Jones and Zubac to play against the Nuggets Jokic, Murray, Porter Jr., Gordon and Braun. Jokic jumped first at the beginning, but Murray failed to score a three-pointer, and Jones Jr.'s defense was still quite effective against him. Zubac turned around and scored two points, and then Jokic was cut in a single shot again in Zubac. Jones scored another 2 points, and the Clippers started 6:0, with good results. At 9 minutes and 47 seconds, Braun made a three-pointer and the Nuggets chased to 6:3. Then, Braun received Jokic's pass and dunked, and the Nuggets fell 6:5, only one point behind.

Jones' three-pointer fell, and the Clippers led by 1 point 9:8. At 8 minutes and 08 seconds, the Nuggets were forced to pause. At the beginning, Tyron Lou played Jones with a very good effect. He scored 7 points on 3 of 4 shots and had a block. The restrictions on Murray were still quite adequate on the defensive end. If Murray is allowed to make a shot, the Nuggets will be quite dangerous at home. Looking back in the offense, Xiao Ka made a layup without a whistle, while Jokic in turn won the free throw, and the referee's call was still incomprehensible. At 5 minutes and 46 seconds, Jones failed to make a three-pointer, and the Nuggets made a three-pointer and stopped the Clippers with 13:11. After the timeout, Ka Xiao scored consecutively. Batum made another three-pointer at 44 seconds, and the Clippers led by 3 points with 18:15. The offensive rhythm of both sides was also quite fast. In the end, the Clippers led by 5 points with 26:21. In this quarter, Zubac was in the inside, and the effect was quite obvious. He scored 4 points, 9 rebounds, 1 assist in the first quarter, and 1 steal. Jokic made 0 of 5 shots, contributing only 2 points, 3 rebounds, and 6 assists. Harden scored 2 points, 3 rebounds and 6 assists, revitalizing the team very well. Xiaoka scored 4 points, 1 rebound, 2 assists, and Jones scored 7 points and 2 rebounds. Murray on the opposite side made 0 of 2 shots, contributing only 1 point and 3 rebounds, Braun scored 9 points, and Porter Jr. had 5 points. In the first quarter, the five players played for 12 minutes. Zubac and Harden were on the Clippers, and the Nuggets were on the dual-core side. Jokic, Murray and Braun were on the same side. It can be seen that both sides have high expectations for this battle. After the second quarter started, the Nuggets opened fire with all their firepower on the offensive end and completely suppressed the Clippers. At 9 minutes and 31 seconds, with Westbrook making another three-pointer, the Nuggets scored a 7:0 start and overtook 2 points with 28:26. At 8 minutes and 08 seconds, Westbrook made a continuous steal and dunk Harden, directly stopping the Clippers. After Westbrook came on the court, the effect on both offense and defense was quite obvious. He also knew very well about the old acquaintance Harden and successfully defended many times. At 7 minutes and 58 seconds, Zubac dunked and scored 2 points. At 7 minutes and 46 seconds, Jokic responded with a three-pointer, and the Nuggets led by 4 points at 34:30.

The assist team fell behind by 3 points 41:44.

3 minutes and 08 seconds, Westbrook made a foul by killing the inside, making one of two free throws, but he scored his own penalty and shot, hitting 1+2. The Nuggets led by 7 points 50:43. In the past 1 minute and 10 seconds, the Nuggets scored a 10-0 offensive climax, turning the score into 53:43 and leading by 10 points.

After the Clippers were fighting for 66:93 in the third quarter, it was difficult for the Clippers to reverse. After the Clippers finished the game, the Clippers defeated the Nuggets 101:120 and were eliminated in the playoffs for three consecutive years.

2, the Clippers were eliminated, Xiao Ka performed well, dragging the team forward, and the main players of Harden, Powell and Dunn were poor.

The small card performed well. Today, when he encountered multiple double-teams, he successfully scored the ball many times and carried the banner of the Clippers' offense. When other teammates performed poorly, Ka took on his responsibilities with his accurate shooting like a robot. Whether it was a three-point shooting from the outside or a strong attack from the inside, he had good performances. He made all five free throws in the halftime and showed his own strength. Only when Ka Ka performed an excellent performance can the Clippers win, but unfortunately his teammates were not strong. Xiaoka played 33 points in the whole game, made 6 of 13 shots, 2 of 4 three-pointers and 8 of 9 free throws, scored 22 points, 5 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 blocks, and made 1 turnover.

Zubac passed. In the first half of today, he played in the interior that was no less than Jokic. He can limit Jokic on both offense and defense. He was very good at rebounding in the inside today, winning more shots for the Clippers. However, in the second half, he only scored 5 of 10 shots and 0 of 2 free throws in 32 minutes, scored 10 points, 14 rebounds, 2 assists and 1 steal, with a plus-minus value of -17.

Harden failed. Today, he performed mediocrely on the offensive end, especially his three-point shooting from the outside, which was extremely poor. Fortunately, he was quite comprehensive and had already sent 10 assists in the first half, but this was far from enough. The Clippers needed him to use his scoring to help the team move forward, otherwise it would be difficult to defeat his opponent. Harden once again disappointed the fans in the whole game. He had no choice but to pass the ball in the face of double teams and had no desire or momentum to win. Although he gave 13 assists in this game, he only made 2 of 8 shots, scoring only 7 points, 5 rebounds and 2 mistakes, with a plus-minus value of -29.

Powell failed. The shooting feels bad today and was beaten by Murray on the defensive end. He was not as brave as the sixth game on both offense and defense. He made almost no contribution in the whole game, made 4 of 11 shots, 0 of 3 three-pointers, 1 of 1 free throw, scored only 9 points, 2 rebounds and 2 assists, and made 3 turnovers and 3 fouls, with a plus-minus value of -31.

Jones passed. The performance was outstanding in the first quarter, but then it became mediocre. Fortunately, he was able to make due contributions on the defensive end and live up to the trust of Coach Lu in him. In the whole game, Jones made 5 of 10 shots, contributed 12 points and 2 rebounds, and played for 16 minutes, which was quite good.

Batum passed. Today, I am still working diligently on the defensive end and not much on the offensive end. The substitute played for 28 minutes in the game, scored 3 points, 2 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 steal and 2 blocks, with a plus-minus value of -27.

Borgdanovic passed. In this game, 5 of 9 shots scored 12 points, 3 rebounds and 1 assist.

Dunn failed, made 1 of 4 shots in this game, 3 points, 1 rebound and 1 assist.

Brown was perfect, played 8 minutes, made 6 of 7 shots, and contributed 13 points and 3 assists.

Christie passed the exam and scored 5 points and 1 rebound in 6 minutes. These substitutes played violent offensive and defensive performances in the final quarter. The Nuggets' main players who had already finished the game were replayed. Their performance was perfect, making the main players ashamed.
