Tony Jones @Tjonesonthenba
Aaron Gordon made that second free-throw……
But had he missed, Nikola Jokic had beaten Chet and Hartenstein to inside positioning and would have been there for the rebound – 12:23 AM

Prior to Aaron Gordon’s buzzer beating dunk, the Clippers had outscored the Nuggets by 35 points in this series.
But then Denver won Game 4, came home, got Russell Westbrook back, and outscored Clippers by 29 points in the last 3 games.

Halftime Rotations for the Nuggets as they lead the Clippers 58-47.
Aaron Gordon: 10-4-3, +14, amazing so far
Christian Braun: 11-5-2, great D on Harden
Russell Westbrook: 10-2-3, huge momentum shifter
Nikola Jokic: 9-6-4-3-1, Nuggets will need some more scoring late. pic.x.com/ITKz7PDB7r – 8:37 PM

Law Murray @LawMurrayTheNU
Russell Westbrook with a corner 3, split FT, back-to-back steals, and a dime to an Aaron Gordon dunk that puts Denver on a 10-2 run
Denver leads 31-28, timeout Clippers with 808 & Heartbreak left in 1st half
Don’t expect to see Ben Simmons or DeAndre Jordan tonight. – 8:14 PM
Tony Jones @Tjonesonthenba
The Nuggets start the second quarter on a 10-2 run and take a 31-28 lead, punctuated by an Aaron Gordon flush…..Ty Lue calls timeout…..
Denver started the second quarter 7-0 without Nikola Jokic on the floor….good stuff for them on the margins – 8:13 PM
Tony Jones @Tjonesonthenba
Aaron Gordon just sealed and scored on Kawhi Leonard
You know how strong you gotta be to seal and score on Kawhi Leonard? – 7:46 PM
Law Murray @LawMurrayTheNU

Porter Jr. is hiding on Jones Jr., who popped a corner 3, 9-5 LAC LEAD – 7:41 PM

More on this storyline

Ryan Blackburn: Final Rotations for the Nuggets as they defeat the OKC Thunder 121-119. Aaron Gordon: 22 points, 14 rebounds, an incredible game-winner Nikola Jokic: 42-22-6-1-2, jesus man Jamal Murray: 21-6-6 That is an incredible win. They STOLE Game 1. We have ourselves a series. -via x.com / May 6, 2025
Brett Siegel: The Nuggets just robbed the Thunder of Game 1 in OKC! Final score of 121-119 in a game the Nuggets had no right winning. It’s a 19-6 run to end the game and some questionable fouling at the end of the game by OKC hands the Nuggets a win on a silver platter. -via x.com / May 6, 2025
Jamal Murray dropped his highest scoring game of this year’s playoffs. Russell Westbrook returned with a bang. Even Aaron Gordon, Michael Porter Jr., and Christian Braun delivered big-time. Back at home, Denver’s other players not named Nikola Jokic finally raised their level of play in a critical stretch of the series. Murray uncorked 43 points built on eight threes, taking command of a strong 131-115 Nuggets showing over the Clippers in Game 5 to seize a 3-2 lead, Wednesday (PH time), April 30. -via NBA.ph / April 30, 2025
