Recap

Clippers and Nuggets both came out strong. However, this didn’t last any longer than the 1st quarter when Nuggets simply couldn’t keep up with the Clippers efficiency.

Paul George and Montrezl Harrell were the only two players for the clipper that scored double-figure points and shot less than 50%. Very strong performances from Kawhi Leonard

and Marcus Morris Sr.

This does look like the start of a 4-0 series win for the clippers.
