The fifth game between the Nuggets and the Clippers is a huge test for both sides, because whoever wins will take the initiative and get the match point of the series. We have seen the final result. The Nuggets completed a super victory at home, which can be said to be a huge impact on the entire series. The Nuggets were all smooth, and they won 16 points and went crazy. The trend of the series has changed, and the first round of the West has become clear.
From the perspective of the Clippers, this game is a bit eye-catching. It's not that it can reach 22 points at most when it falls behind, but that any strategy of the Clippers has no use in front of the Nuggets. On the other hand, they are all going well on the Nuggets and everyone can play basketball. The main players of the team have scored in double digits, and Jokic doesn't have to be so tired. However, Jokic easily accepted a triple-double, even if the scoring efficiency was not high.
The Nuggets completed a 16-point victory, which can be said to be crazy. So, what is the secret to winning in this game? First, Murray plays like a superstar. Murray in this game can be said to have become the eye of the game, and he regards the Clippers as the Lakers. Murray scored 43 points and 7 assists, and made various shots in the game. When Murray plays such data, it would be strange if the Nuggets don't win, after all, Jokic can keep the team's lower limit.
Second, Harden's large-scale core system of ball-holding is dismantled. Maybe what you see is Harden's 3 of 9 shots and only 5 assists, and he will say that Harden is habitually frustrated. But what we need to know is that in this game, the Nuggets directly dismantled Harden's core system of ball-holding, making Harden very uncomfortable to play. When Harden can't play his comfortable rhythm, Harden will be free on the court and will be confused outside the tactical system, so he will not make much contribution.
Third, Westbrook became the X factor. Westbrook must praise this game. Westbrook had a super explosion in a short period of time, which directly changed the pace of the game. This was something the Clippers did not expect. Westbrook scored 21 points, which is the most important source of scoring on the Nuggets' bench. In fact, as long as Westbrook performs normally, the Nuggets will have no shortcomings and the game will be very comfortable. We have seen this, and it is also very lively and the game is smooth.
In general, after this game, the direction of this series has changed. If the Clippers want to continue the series, they need to continue to adjust in the sixth game. Of course, this series won't end easily. In addition, what we want to say is that the first round of the Western Conference is clear now. The Thunder have advanced, and the Timberwolves and other teams have won the match point, so it is only a matter of time before the promotion is promoted. In short, some of the Nuggets and Clippers still play, let’s see the situation in the sixth game.
