For now the team remains the favorite for the conference finals. The Nuggets can still turn the series around if they want to. But the Clippers’ offense is deadly.
Los Angeles Clippers: Win to lock.
The Clippers won Game 3 113-107 and are 2-1 ahead of the Nuggets. But in the second game the Clippers suffered a massive attack that was almost impossible to overcome during the first quarter. In Game 3 the Clippers learned how to prevent the Nuggets from taking advantage. In the most recent game of this series, the Clippers won two quarters. But the other two they lost were by a few points.
The team is number one in the postseason with 121.6 points per game. 44 FG points, 12.7 three pointers, 79.3% free throw shots, 21.4 assists, 7.3 steals, 9.2 offensive rebounds and 3.4 blocks.

Denver Nuggets: Hope.
The Nuggets played well in Game 3 of the series. But the team made the mistake of pressing in the first quarter as they did in the second game. The Clippers already knew they were going to try the same. The first quarter closed 33-32 in favor of the Clippers. It was a strategy that worked once, but no longer works.
