The Nuggets (3-2) and the Clippers (2-3) head into a do-or-die Game 6 on Thursday, with the stakes sky-high in their roller-coaster first-round series.
For the Clippers, Game 5 was a gut check—and they came up short. With their season hanging in the balance, they found themselves skating on thin ice from the opening tip, stumbling out of the gate and never quite finding their footing.
Denver's Jamal Murray turned the screws with a masterclass performance, lighting up the scoreboard while the Clippers’ defense struggled to plug the leaks. By the time the dust settled at Ball Arena, the Nuggets had cracked open a 22-point lead in the fourth and cruised to a 131-115 win, leaving the Clippers with their backs firmly against the wall.
