Denver Nuggets was swinging after losing 34 points in the 3rd match of the first round series against Los Angeles Clippers and there was full turmoil.
Their bad situations have changed rapidly with victories in a row, and now Nuggets will try to close the Western Conference series when they meet Clippers at the game 6 in Calf on Thursday night.
Denver won 4 in the Dunk of Aaron Gordon in Buzzer, and then watched Balistik with 43 points in the 131-115 home win, which gave Jamal Murray’s 3-2 series leadership to Nuggets on Tuesday night.
Murray has evacuated eight 3 points while converting the arena into a personal attraction gallery. In general, he made 17 of 26 shots and also stole seven assists, five rebounds and three steals.
“It is absolutely nice that there is a show at night,” Denver Temporary Coach David Adelman said. “We needed it in a big game.”
Murray has six career 40 -point efforts, a franchise record after the season.
“When it is aggressive, we’re a different team,” Nuggets said Russell Westbrook, the guard, added 21 points from the counter. “When he gets that Swagger and goes out and competes at the level he does (Tuesday night), we’re a hard team to beat.”
Denver, three times MVP Nikola Jokic’e 13 points with 13 points, despite the serial leadership. However, the 21st career has added 12 assists and 10 rebounds for three-cift.
“It is hard to hold the Joker with 13 points and to lose the game, but they beat you like that.” He said. “If you worry about him, the other men can beat you. But I thought Jamal Murray was perfect.”
Los Angeles took stars from Ivica Zubac (27 points in the 11th shot of 15) and Kawhi Leonard (20 points, 11 assists, nine rebounds), but the team hopes to reappear from James Harden in Thursday’s qualifying match.
Harden received an average of 20 points in the first three games, but in the last two competitions, it fell to 13. The game was only 3 people from the ground for 11 points in 5.
“I think Denver thought they’d get him out of the show, Lu Lue said from Harden’s bad situation. “And they do a good job.
Leonard is known for its large playoff performances and gets 20 or more points in each game of the series. The best show was 39 in the game 2 (in 15 shots of 19).
Leonard, including the normal season, scored at least 20 goals in each of the last 20 matches.
However, the NBA finals are not consumed twice by MVP scoring. He’s more concern about how to keep the show alive.
“Every time he takes a property and tries to start the game well.” He said. “Be careful, limit the mistakes and play with confidence.”
Clippers wants to avoid the third flat first round. In 2023, they lost to Phoenix Suns in five matches and last season in Dallas Mavericks.
Nuggets won the NBA in 2023 before losing Minnesota Timberwolves in the second round last season.
When Murray comes to Arena on Thursday, a score will not think of Encore. He just wants to see his team published a series of victory.
“The game 6 is one of the most difficult ones, Mur Murray said. “This team is fighting for their lives and playing in front of their crowd. We will have to bring all of 48 minutes.”
