The Denver basketball players failed to push the story to the end in the NBA night between Tuesday and Wednesday, as they were defeated by the Clippers in Los Angeles 87:85.
We saw another double-double by Nikola Jokic, who failed to end it with a victory.
In a match that was full of incredible misses, such as Denver’s four three-pointers from as many as 33 attempts, the Nuggets failed to hold out, so after “running out of gas” in the last section, they were left without a victory.
Nikola Jokic scored 21 points with 13 rebounds and eight assists, so he almost lost the “triple-double” effect.
However, it is even more important that his team was left without a triumph, and the MVP almost brought that triumph.
Denver cost a weak last section, in which he gave only 19 points, which the Clippers used and turned around in the very finish for the triumph in Los Angeles.
The hosts were led by Amir Coffey with 18 points, Reggie Jackson and Terance Mann had 13 points each, who gave nine when it was broken, and Marcus Morris 12.
The most efficient in the match was Aaron Gordon with 30, with 12 more rebounds, but with Jokic, no one jumped at the Nuggets.
Denver recorded its 19th defeat, with 20 wins, and is now sixth in the West, while the Clippers are eighth with 21-21.
