DENVER — The Clippers dropped a 112-110 overtime game to the Denver Nuggets Saturday night at Ball Arena to open the playoffs.
They are down 1-0 in the best-of-seven series because Russell Westbrook was as a menace against his former team and supplied the Nuggets with the energy and big plays they needed to get the win.
Westbrook’s last big play was knocking the ball over James Harden’s hand with 9.6 seconds left in the overtime.
Nikola Jokic made two free throws for a 112-107 lead with 6.5 seconds remaining that sealed the victory.
We’re in good shape,” Clippers coach Tyronn Lue said.
