Game 7 Westbrook
Manage episode 480605438 series 3524464
The Nuggets defeat the Clippers in Game 7, adding another chapter to their history of decisive playoff games and setting up a second-round matchup with the Oklahoma City Thunder. Denver's victory came through unexpected heroes as Russell Westbrook, Christian Brown, and Aaron Gordon stepped up while Jokić and Murray had quieter offensive performances.
• Russell Westbrook delivered a revenge game against his former team with 16 points, 5 rebounds, 5 assists, and 5 steals
• Jokić and Murray combined for only about 30 points, yet the Nuggets still dominated
• Christian Brown continues to develop as a two-way player, hitting big shots and defending well
• Aaron Gordon battled through injury to contain Kawhi Leonard effectively
• The Thunder series presents challenges with their youth, rest advantage, and 68-win regular season
• Denver has experience on their side, with the Thunder's first-round sweep of Memphis providing little playoff resistance
• Jokić should have an easier matchup against the Thunder's frontcourt than he did against Zubac
• Coach Adelman has made a strong case to become the permanent head coach with his tactical decisions
• The Nuggets' core four deserves another season together with improved bench support
