洛杉矶和丹佛为观众奉献了一场精彩的第四节和加时赛，展现了他们的老将风采，但主场作战的掘金队最终略胜一筹
一场紧张而激烈的开局之战——其中既有丹佛的尼古拉·约基奇(Nikola Jokic)的超凡表现，也有洛杉矶的詹姆斯·哈登(James Harden)和科怀·伦纳德(Kawhi Leonard)的双星闪耀——这场比赛值得更多的播放时间；比赛进入加时赛，掘金队艰难地赢得了第一场比赛。约基奇的队友们在从洛杉矶手中夺取领先优势并坚持到最后的过程中发挥了重要作用。备受争议的拉塞尔·威斯布鲁克(Russell Westbrook)造成了快船队的失误，而这位MVP的关键罚球确保了 112-110 的比分。
在比赛的最后五分钟，丹佛队抢下了超过六个关键的进攻篮板，延长了无数次的进攻机会。在常规赛的最后一分钟，穆雷击落了伦纳德手中的球，造成了失误，威斯布鲁克命中了一个空位底角三分，本有机会成为制胜球。但哈登强行命中一记抛投，将比分扳平为 98，威斯布鲁克错失了为球队赢得比赛的机会。
快船队的哈登（32 分、11 助攻和 6 篮板）和伦纳德（22 分、6 篮板和 3 抢断）这对老将组合在上下半场都扛起了球队的进攻大旗，而伊维察·祖巴茨(Ivica Zubac)（21 分和 13 篮板）和克里斯·邓恩(Kris Dunn)（10 分）的发挥也为球队提供了及时的火力支援。
丹佛的约基奇（29 分、12 篮板、9 助攻和 3 抢断）虽然受到了祖巴茨的严密防守，但仍然在下半场找到了自己的节奏。搭档贾马尔·穆雷(Jamal Murray)（21 分、9 篮板和 7 助攻）的效率不高，但掘金队从阿隆·戈登(Aaron Gordon)（25 分和 8 篮板）和威斯布鲁克（15 分和 8 篮板）身上得到了鼓舞人心的支持，他们在关键时刻在攻防两端都发挥了重要作用。
快船队开局气势如虹，得到了他们想要的任何投篮机会。祖巴茨在篮下附近表现出色，早早得到 8 分，并且是一个高效的枢纽，可以将球从一侧转移到另一侧，从上到下。丹佛队不得不从罚球线上获得更多的分数才能跟上节奏。哈登在开局表现不错后，投出了一些打铁球，掘金队的小个子球员在另一端抓住机会抹平了差距。哈登的两个后撤步三分遏制了颓势，洛杉矶队以 35-27 领先结束第一节。
伦纳德的“软件”开启，他在第二节迅速拿下 12 分，而丹佛队除了约基奇之外，继续难以找到任何其他的得分贡献。虽然看起来洛杉矶队在第二节有几次要带走比赛，但掘金队开始追逐并控制住松散的球，从非约基奇球员那里找到了足够的运动战进球，并在油漆区内充分干扰了祖巴茨，导致了他的一些关键失误。丹佛队在进入中场休息时将比分追至 49-53。
邓恩在第三节开始时继续提供令人惊喜的进攻火力。约基奇扭转并磨练他的技巧，获得了几次运动战进球，以防止快船队拉开差距。丹佛队一度将差距缩小到两分，但由于掘金队在半场阵地战中继续挣扎，快船队创造了一些喘息空间。约基奇的 12 分帮助丹佛队将差距缩小到 72-75 的三分。
观察
- 红（快船队）/蓝（掘金队）的颜色对比非常好。
- 我非常喜欢约基奇似乎从不受干扰或被迫以不同的节奏打球。
- 博格丹·博格达诺维奇(Bogdan Bogdanovic)一直是一位优秀的射手，但他看起来在外线防守端毫无用处。
- 比赛最佳回合 ：快船队利用克里斯·邓恩作为底线切入者，使用祖巴茨作为低位策应，运行了一个高低位配合，让邓恩在第一节轻松获得几次轻松上篮的机会。
- 约基奇最佳回合 ：在第三节的最后时刻，约基奇预判到博格达诺维奇的一次糟糕传球，并且“跑赢”了两名快船队球员，完成了一次华丽的（以他的标准来看）上篮。
- 在那里的到底是尼古拉斯·巴图姆(Nicolas Batum)还是 2013 年的鲍里斯·迪奥(Boris Diaw)？
- 2020 年代的约基奇和祖巴茨 = 2010 年代的蒂姆·邓肯(Tim Duncan)和马克·加索尔(Marc Gasol)？
比赛回顾
约基奇一记横跨球场的传球，助攻小迈克尔·波特(Michael Porter, Jr.)命中一记三分，并在不久后自己也命中一记三分。祖巴茨在另一端立即回敬他，迅速得到两分。哈登试图引诱（未成功）穆雷在进攻端犯规，而穆雷在另一端压哨命中一记三分。虽然丹佛队的外线投篮失准，但洛杉矶队的尝试却很精准。洛杉矶队遇到的唯一挫折是哈登的第二次犯规。他留在场上，他的 2+1 让快船队领先十分。凭借佩顿·沃特森(Peyton Watson)和克里斯蒂安·布劳恩(Christian Braun)的提速，丹佛队打出一波 10-0 的攻势，缩小了差距。哈登命中了两记令人印象深刻的三分球，使快船队领先 8 分。
伦纳德在第二节开始时承担了得分的责任，洛杉矶队领先两记达阵。同样，阻止状态火热的快船队的唯一因素是伦纳德的犯规麻烦。丹佛队继续在外线挣扎，而伦纳德在掘金队之前拿到了本节的第 12 分。为了向 WWE 致敬，祖巴茨和约基奇在连续的回合中都获得了进攻犯规。哈登领到了他的第三次犯规，布劳恩完成了他的第二次抢断，并扣篮得分，将掘金队追至落后九分。鲍勃·迈尔斯(Bob Myers)指出：“这次反击是由努力驱动的。”约基奇击中了诺曼·鲍威尔(Norm Powell)的手臂，拿到了他自己的第三次犯规。然后，约基奇在底角找到了拉塞尔·威斯布鲁克，后者命中一记三分。尽管洛杉矶队在进攻端取得了所有的成功，但他们在半场结束时只领先丹佛队四分。
阿隆·戈登开始了掘金队在第三节的得分，而哈登在试图阻止戈登占据位置之前命中了一记转换三分，并且拿到了他的第四次犯规。约基奇似乎收到了丹佛队可能需要他得到 40 分的信息，并且在比赛开始时命中了两个球。两队在本节中段频繁地交换得分。穆雷一个变向后的 2+1 上篮和一记漂亮的抛投让丹佛队将差距缩小到两分。快船队从弱侧包夹约基奇，造成了一些球的偏转，并且打乱了几次进攻。在第三节的最后一分钟，判给快船队的球权受到了挑战并被推翻，约基奇的快攻上篮使比分变为 75-72，进入第四节。

Nuggets take Game 1 with instant overtime classic against Clippers, 112-110
LA and Denver treated the viewing audience to a magnificent fourth quarter and overtime showcasing their veterans, but the host Nuggets had just enough to finish ahead
In a tight and contentious opening act - featuring the singular greatness of Denver’s Nikola Jokic and the two-headed starpower of Los Angeles’ James Harden and Kawhi Leonard - that deserved extra air time; went into overtime and saw the Nuggets pull out a hard fought Game 1 win. Jokic’s teammates were instrumental in wresting the lead away from LA and holding on for dear life to the end. Much-maligned Russell Westbrook caused a Clipper turnover, and the MVP’s free throws secured the 112-110 result.
In the last five minutes of the game, Denver claimed over a half-dozen key offensive rebounds to extend countless possessions. In the final minute of regulation, Murray knocked the ball off of Leonard to cause a turnover, and Westbrook hit an open corner three, which had the chance to stand as the game-winner. But Harden willed a floater home to tie the game at 98, and Westbrook squandered a chance to get his team a game-winning opportunity.
The Clippers’ veteran duo of Harden (32 points, 11 assists, and 6 rebounds) and Leonard (22 points, 6 rebounds, and 3 steals) carried the team’s offense in both halves, while they received welcome secondary scoring from Ivica Zubac (21 points and 13 rebounds) and Kris Dunn (10 points)
Denver’s Jokic (29 points, 12 rebounds, 9 assists, and 3 steals), while defended well by Zubac, still found his spots in the second half. Running-mate Jamal Murray (21 points, 9 rebounds, and 7 assists) had an inefficient effort, but the Nuggets received spirited efforts in the second half and beyond from Aaron Gordon (25 points and 8 rebounds) and Westbrook (15 points and 8 rebounds), who made a ton of crunch-time plays at both ends.
The Clippers stormed out of the game getting any manner of shot that they wanted. Zubac cleaned up at and around the basket for eight early points and was an efficient fulcrum to move the ball from side to side and top to bottom. Denver had to earn more of their points from the free throw line to keep up. Harden, after a nice start, chucked out a handful of bricks, and the Nuggets’ smalls took advantage at the other end to erase that advantage. Harden’s pair of stepback threes stemmed the tide and LA left the first up 35-27.
The software within Leonard turned on and he put up a quick dozen in the second quarter, while Denver continued to struggle to find any secondary contributions beyond Jokic. Though it looked like LA would run away with the outcome several times through the second, the Nuggets began to get after and corral loose balls, found just enough field goals from the non-Jokic players, and distracted Zubac enough in the paint to cause necessary misses. Denver got within 49-53 going into the break.
Dunn continued to provide surprising offense to start the third period. Jokic pivoted and grinded his way into several field goals to keep the Clippers from pulling away. Denver got as close as two, but the Clippers created some wiggle room as the Nuggets continued to struggle in the halfcourt. Jokic’s dozen points helped get Denver back to within three 72-75.
Observations
- The color contrast - red (Clippers) / blue (Nuggets) was great.
- Just love that Jokic never seems to be bothered or pressured to go at a different pace.
- As good of a shooter Bogdan Bogdanovic has been, he looked useless out there defending on the perimeter.
- Sequence of the Game: Using Kris Dunn as the baseline cutter, the Clippers ran a high/low set using Zubac as the post-feeder to get Dunn several easy buckets in the first quarter.
- Jokic Sequence of the Game: In the final moments of the third quarter, the Joker anticipated a bad pass from Bogdanovic and ‘outran’ two Clippers down the court for a gorgeous (by his standards) lay-up.
- Is that Nic Batum or 2013 Boris Diaw out there?
- 2020s Jokic and Zubac = 2010s Duncan and Marc Gasol?
Game Rundown
Jokic laced a cross-court pass to Michael Porter, Jr. for a three, and hit one of his own shortly after. Zubac went right back at him on the other end to get two quick baskets. Harden tried to lure (unsuccessfully) Murray into a foul at one end, and Murray hit a clock-beating three at the other end over the bearded one. While the outside shots for Denver fell short, LA’s attempts were accurate. The only setback LA encountered was Harden’s second foul. He stayed in the game and his and-1 put the Clippers up ten. With Peyton Watson and Christian Braun pushing the pace, Denver mounted a 10-0 run to tighten the gap. Harden hit two impressive threes to make it an 8-point Clipper lead.
Leonard took over the bucket-getting responsibilities at the start of the second period, and LA went up two touchdowns. Again, the only thing that stopped a hot Clipper was foul trouble with Leonard getting two. Denver continued to struggle from outside the arc., and Leonard got to his 12th point of the quarter before the Nuggets got to theirs. In homage to WWE, Zubac and Jokic picked up offensive fouls in consecutive possessions. Harden picked up his third foul, and Braun took his second steal and threw down a dunk to bring the Nuggets within nine. Bob Myers noted “this comeback has been fueled by effort.” Jokic whacked Norm Powell on the arm to get HIS third foul. Jokic then found Russell Westbrook in the corner for a three. Despite all of the offensive success that LA had, they were separated from Denver by only four points at the half.
Aaron Gordon started the Nuggets’ scoring in the third quarter while Harden hit a transition three before getting his fourth foul trying to deny Gordon positioning. Jokic seemed to get the message that Denver likely needed a 40-point game from him and hit two early buckets. The teams liberally traded baskets over the middle part of the frame. A herky-jerky and-1 and nifty lay-in from Murray drew Denver within two. The Clippers doubled Jokic from the weak side to create some deflections and disrupt several possessions. Possession given to the Clippers was challenged and overturned in the last minute of the third and Jokic’s fast-break lay-up made it a 75-72 game heading into the fourth.
