Key things to know for Game 2
The Russell Westbrook experience is happening here and now. The future Hall of Fame point guard came up clutch in the final stages of Game 1. At times being the shortest player on the court, he used his super-human leaping ability to pull down some huge offensive rebounds down the stretch.
He hit a clutch corner three and sealed the game off with a deflection on an inbounds pass that ricocheted off a Clippers player and out of bounds, forcing a turnover at a pivotal moment.
Christian Braun and Aaron Gordon are elite glue guys. The duo regularly guards the opposing team’s biggest offensive threats. They do all the little things that won’t pop up in the box score without a complaint and a big grin across their faces.
Braun did a head-first dive into the crowd to secure a steal and hit a massive three at the end of the game for the Nuggets. Gordon crashed the offensive glass and pumped some energy into the crowd and team with a big dunk in overtime, but was able to simmer down and knock down some free throws in crunch time
