Hard game, because Jokic will probably not play while Kawhi will probably play. But even without Jokic it is a home game and Kawhi is limited (+there is even reports that he will maybe stay in LA due his property problems with the current LA big fire).

Westbrook -- 19 pts -- 6 rebs -- 8 ast --- MVP of this game I think
Murray -- 21 pts -- 9 ast
Jordan -- 9 rebs
Porter -- 9 rebs in just 23 min
Saric -- 7 rebs
Braun & Strawther & Watson -- decent all around games

Most impressive stat to me is the Nuggets out scored the Clippers in every quarter -- our offense was fairly good but our defense held them to under 30 pts in three of the quarters.

Scary is stat to me is the Clippers took more than double the number of free throws. Our shooting percentage was fantastic, but that is not always the case. What I don't understand though, in defense of our guys; the refs put their whistles in their pockets when we were on offense. We had more than double the number of points-in-the-paint. That usually means more free throws from more personal fouls on the defenders yet they only had 15 fouls resulting in 17 fts for us. While we had 24 fouls resulting in 40 fts for them.

That is a bizarre combination of stats.
