The Clippers are currently down 0-1 in the series and the question to be answered is if the Clippers can tie the series tonight against the Nuggets. Let&rsquo;s find out more.<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Denver Nuggets&rsquo; Outlook<\/h2><p>The Denver Nuggets took a 1-0 lead in the first round series against the Clippers. Nikola Jokic was his usual self as he dropped 29 points, 12 assists, and grabbed 9 rebounds, while shooting 50% from the field, and 25.0 percent from the beyond the arc. However, one of the biggest reasons why the Nuggets won the game was because of Russell Westbrook, who scored 15 points and knocked down an important shot to help the Nuggets take the lead in the fourth quarter. However, he was not done yet, as Brodie forced an important turnover in overtime, which helped the Nuggets seal the win. It was an outstanding effort by the entire Nuggets team, and if they continue to play this way, they could go very deep into the playoffs.<\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Nikola Jokic&rsquo;s innie GETS THE JOB DONE with 29 PTS, 9 REB, 12 AST, 3 STL, 1 BLK as the Nuggets get the OT 112-110 WIN over the Clippers &#128293;<br><br>DENVER TAKE A 1-0 SERIES LEAD &#128548; <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/UieIlxFDfQ\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>pic.twitter.com\/UieIlxFDfQ<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Basketball Forever (@bballforever_) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/bballforever_\/status\/1913723668196474992?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>April 19, 2025<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure><p>Also Read: <a href=\"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/we-will-never-play-that-bad-again-ja-morant-promises-grizzlies-comeback-after-51-point-blowout-loss-to-thunder\/\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>&ldquo;We will never play that bad again&rdquo; &ndash; Ja Morant Promises Grizzlies&rsquo; Comeback after 51-Point Blowout Loss to Thunder<\/a><\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">L.A. Clippers&rsquo; Outlook<\/h2><p>The L.A. Clippers played decently for the most part of the game. However, they blew a 15 point lead even after a tremendous performance from their star guard in James Harden. The Beard dropped 32 points in Game 1 of the playoffs, but it wasn&rsquo;t enough. The Nuggets played excellent defense in the clutch, to help force turnovers and Clippers had no answers in overtime. Kawhi Leonard played quite well in the first game of the playoffs as he dropped 22 points, had 3 steals, 2 assists, and 6 rebounds. However, what he didn&rsquo;t do was take more shots, as he only attempted 15 shots and that is not going to help the Clippers at all. The game was extremely close the whole game, however, the Nuggets took the lead in the series as the final score was 112-110.<\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Final from Game 1 <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/0bMTpgcsuz\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>pic.twitter.com\/0bMTpgcsuz<\/a><\/p>&mdash; LA Clippers (@LAClippers) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/LAClippers\/status\/1913723698869313840?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>April 19, 2025<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Denver Nuggets vs. L.A.
