I have an eye on this series, Joe,
00:02
within the Clippers and the Nuggets,
00:03
that have hit every single way all the way through.
00:06
And most people thought this game,
00:07
this series, was going to go into seven games.
00:09
And it has now.
00:10
I actually thought at least one game would go into overtime.
00:12
And it has.
00:13
And every step of the way, I picked the winner,
00:15
which included last night.
00:16
Now, sidewise, spread-wise,
00:19
maybe you got a little bit tough,
00:20
as Joe talked about in section number one for us here,
00:23
was, you know what?
00:23
Five and a half, six and a half.
00:24
Yeah, that made a big deal last night
00:26
in a 111-105 victory.
00:27
But the Clippers got the job done at home.
00:30
It wasn't a blowout scenario.
00:31
The Nuggets had to play their starters
00:32
40-plus minutes in this one
00:34
as we head back to elevation.
00:36
But talk to me about what you saw last night, Joe,
00:38
from that Clippers six-point victory
00:39
over the Denver Nuggets.
00:41
Well, what we learned by the Clippers
00:44
and in the NBA playoffs this year, Donnie,
00:47
is that if you do a lot of the little things right,
00:52
you can overcome a lot of absolutely trash shooting here.
00:57
And that's exactly what the Clippers did again last night.
01:00
Listen, we saw the Timberwolves miss 75 threes
01:03
and they still beat the Lakers, right?
01:05
Well, we saw the Clippers, I think they, what?
01:07
They missed nine of their first 10 threes.
01:10
Jamal Murray drops 12 in the first quarter
01:13
and we're like, here we go again.
01:15
But then James Harden dropped 17 points alone
01:18
in the second quarter,
01:19
but they missed 18 of the first 22 first half threes they took.
01:24
But you know what they did?
01:26
They turned the Nuggets over a bunch of times.
01:29
They were able to get easy baskets.
01:31
So you can win despite not shooting well at all
01:34
if you do the other little things well.
01:36
And that's exactly what the Clippers did.
