So he took advantage of an interview after Game 1 to make things clear about a Denver player &#8230; and it stings hard.<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span id=\"more-571519\"\/><\/p>\n<p>It will have been a little bit, but the Nuggets knew how to keep their heads cold in this Game 1. Opposed to the Clippers in this first round of the Playoffs, the teammates of Nikola Jokic (29 points, 9 rebounds and 12 assists) won the round after prolongation and thus start the series on good bases. It was not easy, however, when in front, James Harden was excellent with 32 points at 50% in shooting and 11 assists.<\/p>\n<p>For its part, the Serbian pivoting became a good battle in the racket with Ivica Zubac, author of 21 points and 13 rebounds. Paul Pierce claimed before kick -off that the Croatian could be an adversary worthy of the triple MVP and if he could not turn him off, the interior of the Californians has in any case shown from the respondent to the image of his whole team. Suffice to say that the rest of the series will not be a health walk.<\/p>\n<p>In order to win, it is therefore the whole squad of Denver who will have to be in tune in the coming days. However, there was to drink and eat among its holders. Aaron Gordon was excellent with 25 points, while Jamal Murray had more trouble ending with an ugly 7\/20 shooting. But the one who truly waded in front of the Angelinos rivals was Michael Porter Jr., totally past through the meeting.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"next-post\">\n<p>\n\t\t\t<span class=\"next-post__text\"><\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\tRead<br \/>\n\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t<\/p>\n<p>Kevin&#39;s next franchise during more than ever known after the Suns?<\/p><\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\">Nikola Jokic without filter after Michael&#39;s non-match Porter Jr.<\/h2>\n<p>With only 3 points to 1\/4 shooting in 27 minutes of play, the winger simply did not exist.
