The Denver Nuggets and LA Clippers will lock horns in Game 2 of the first-round playoff series. The Nuggets overcame a 15-point first-half deficit to roll past the Clippers 112-110 in overtime. Los Angeles would look to script a solid comeback to make it 1-1 before heading to a home-court matchup on Thursday.

Russell Westbrook hit a corner 3-pointer to give the Nuggets a two-point lead late in regulation, and then knocked the inbounds pass away from Harden in the final seconds of overtime. It was a complete team effort for Denver, which relied mostly on Murray and Jokic in the regular season. The Nuggets, No. 1 in defensive transition, have a solid opportunity to take 2-0 lead in the series.
