Superb game tonight between the Clippers and the Nuggets. The start of the program had been soporific, but a quarter-time was enough to get back into the Playoffs atmosphere. So thank you gentlemen, because you saved us the night.
What a pleasure to be in front of basketball at three in the morning and to be able to marvel again and again. Thank you dear Clippers, thank you dear Nuggets, because the end of the night was therefore much more lively than its start, thanks to two uninhibited teams determined to let go of the horses. A huge first quarter in terms of address thanks to Gary Harris, Nikola Jokic, Kawhi Leonard or Paul George, two teams at 1-1 and who surrender blow for blow by returning three quarters of their shots. Jamal Murray drooling against Californian defenders, Ivica Zubac sees her nightmare confirmed against Jokic but for the rest the floodgates are open and the nets are on the verge of tearing. 33-32 Clippers after twelve minutes, 59-57… Nuggets at halftime, the pace is good, the second unit of Denver ensures thanks to Michael Porter Jr. in particular, that of the Clippers can only count on… JaMychal Green, but Kawhi Leonard comes out of his box to avoid a very big gap in favor of the Nuggets. +12 two minutes before the break? 10-0 Clippers when it comes to pissing, the essential is assured.
The return of the locker room? He will be on the list of Nikola Jokic, apparently full at half-time (we will learn later that his snack consisted of Mentos). A huge quarterback pass, three baskets from the parking lot, the ogre is out of his tavern and wants to eat some Clippers. On the other side, Gary Harris does the job and Denver remains in the lead, in a match that looks more and more like a must-see coupled with a competition of highlights.

The punishment of the week for Montrezl Harrell therefore, the opportunity to place one for an MPJ so smooth in attack but so targeted in defense, and we switch then in the fourth quarter, until a money time that the men of Mike Malone approach with a slight advance. Slight advance which will be quickly undermined by the awakening of the two luxury benchers of Doc Rivers, Lou Williams finally chaining the buckets under the eyes of all his women while Montrezl Harrell offered for his part a necessary hustle to relay a Zubac released for six faults after being jokerized all evening but also offered a life-size poster to Paul Millsap. Advance undermined therefore, and finally put to death by a suffocating defense of the Clipps in the last moments of the match. Because if Paul George takes care of everything in attack, on the other side the blood flows as soon as the Nuggets try to approach the circle. The death five Beverley – Lou Will – PG – Kawhi – Harrell does not leave a crumb for Denver forwards and the last three minutes are an ordeal, with as the icing on the cake this monumental counter of Kawhi Leonard on Djamel Muret, a against with… the finger. Kawhi, phone, house, you’re sick of it.

The Clippers will finally finish the job quite quietly, rather freaking out against a Denver team that seems to have reached their peak for the season. Creepy because Kawhi and his guys seemed to be managing everything, just pushing where it hurts at the best of times. 2-1 Clippers race result but we repeat: thanks for all the guys because we – really – had a good time.
