4月5日NBA常规赛，丹佛掘金队客场100-102不敌洛杉矶快船队。 The situation of the two teams can be described as very different, the Nuggets are currently 53-23 in the second place in the West, and the straight to the playoffs is basically a certainty, they even have time to adjust their records and choose opponents, plus there are still some injury problems in the team recently, so Murray continues to rest in this game, which can be seen that the Nuggets are very relaxed. On the other hand, the pressure on the Clippers ranking is not small, although it is currently 47-28 and ranks fourth in the West, but the position is not stable, the Mavericks, Suns and Pelicans below are staring at it, plus the small card will continue to be absent, it is too difficult for the Clippers to keep the ranking, and on the whole, the Nuggets have a greater chance of winning. Let's take a look at the starters of both sides.
Both starters:
Nuggets: Reggie, Pope, Michael Porter Jr., Gordon, Jokic
Clippers: Harden, Terence Mann, George, Tucker, Zubac
比赛开始，掘金率先亮剑，雷吉和波普连续命中三分，一波三分连珠炮轰出13-4打停快船，太流畅了。
调整回来掘金越打越热，约基奇强打乔治抛投得手，随后强打祖巴茨打成2+1，可以说是予取予求，一个人单挑一支球队。
