Clippers Crush Nuggets by 34 Points to Gain 2-1 Series Lead

Highlights from the NBA's YT Channel

Backed by a sellout crowd of 17,927 hardcore fans, the LA Clippers overwhelmed the Denver Nuggets 117-83, securing a 2-1 advantage in their first-round playoff series.

In what was likely the loudest moment at the Intuit Dome since its debut this season, the LA Clippers wowed their fans. Kawhi Leonard contributed 21 points and 11 rebounds, while James Harden and Norman Powell each scored 20 points during the first playoff game at their swanky arena.

Jokic led the Nuggets by scoring 23 points, grabbing 13 rebounds, and providing 13 assists, achieving his second triple-double of the series. Jamal Murray also scored 23 points. Denver started with a seven-point lead, but the Clippers gained a 20-point advantage in the second quarter and maintained control throughout the game. They went on a 23-2 run from the end of the first quarter into the beginning of the second, with Harden contributing 11 points.

Game 4 is scheduled for Saturday, April 26, with a 3 PM PST tipoff, and will broadcast live on TNT.
