Westbrook reigns in the madness of the first Nuggets vs. Clippers

Denver's victory in overtime in the first game of a series that promises to be thrilling

Russell Westbrook, key in Nuggets' victory.

Denver Nuggets have taken a 1-0 lead in the series against Los Angeles Clippers after winning the first game in overtime, 112-110.

A tense, spectacular match that could have gone either way. The Clippers had a 15-point lead in the first half, but the game was tied at halftime and remained close until the end. The Clippers defended Nikola Jokic well, and Russell Westbrook was the key player: he made the basket that put his team ahead for the first time, hit a crucial three-pointer that almost secured the win in regulation time, lost the ball that could have given them victory, and then made the decisive steal against Harden in overtime.

Jokic was the top performer with 29 points, 9 rebounds, and 12 assists. Aaron Gordon contributed 25 points, and Jamal Murray scored 21. For the Clippers, James Harden scored 32 points and provided 11 assists. Ivica Zubac had 22 points and 13 rebounds. Kawhi Leonard scored 22 points, but he seemed less active; the Clippers need more aggression from him.

We are in for a great series ahead.
