In a stunning turn of events, the LA Clippers obliterated the Denver Nuggets in Game 3 of their playoff series, winning by a staggering 34 points. Tensions flared on the court, with Nuggets superstar Nikola Jokic visibly heated during a fourth-quarter timeout, a reflection of the mounting pressure on Denver as they face a crucial series deficit.
From the very first quarter, the Clippers established dominance, leading by double digits and never looking back. This commanding victory puts the Clippers ahead 2-1 in the series, with their star trio—James Harden, Kawhi Leonard, and Paul George—each scoring over 20 points, showcasing an impressive offensive synergy that left the Nuggets scrambling for answers.
Despite Jokic’s impressive stat line of 23 points, 13 rebounds, and 13 assists, the Nuggets’ struggles continue. Ironically, the two games where Jokic has recorded triple-doubles in this series have both ended in defeat for Denver, raising serious concerns about the team’s ability to compete against the Clippers’ relentless attack.
As the series shifts to Los Angeles for Game 4, the stakes have never been higher for the Nuggets. Fans and analysts alike are questioning whether Denver has the firepower to reclaim momentum against a seemingly unstoppable Clippers squad. With the pressure mounting and the series hanging in the balance, all eyes will be on the Nuggets to see if they can rally and turn the tide. The next game promises to be a critical showdown that could define the fate of this playoff battle.
