On April 29, 2025, the Denver Nuggets versus the LA Clippers in an epic Game 5. The electric rivalry game played out at Ball Arena. As the match-up continued into the second half, both squads proved their will to fight for an important win. The knockout was streamed live on TNT and Max, giving fans a front-row seat to the action as it all went down.
In the third quarter, Russell Westbrook put them on notice with this beautiful 25-foot deep ball, courtesy of All Star Jamal Murray. This play brought the house down and exemplified Westbrook’s importance to the Clippers. Meanwhile, Christian Braun made his mark by sinking a 28-foot running pullup jump shot, demonstrating his ability to contribute significantly on both ends of the court.
Aside from scoring, Braun made his mark with a defensive rebound, showcasing his all-around game. The momentum changed when James Harden went 1-7 from the free throw line. He missed his first attempt but managed to convert one of two attempts, leaving points on the board that could have shifted the game’s dynamics.
Yet Westbrook’s play continued to be subpar. He then missed a 16-foot jump pullup jump shot, an indication of the growing sense of urgency each side felt in their battle to take control. Murray couldn’t be stopped as he tried to ignite some energy for the Nuggets with a 26-foot three-point shot from Beantown. Unfortunately, he was unable to hit the bullseye.
The match started at 00 PM and both sides are tooth and nail fighting for early upper hand. They’re eating it up, completely submerged in the great playoff atmosphere. Seth Lundy, the Clippers’ star and emotional leader, has missed the last third of the season following knee surgery. He’s hoping to be back by July 2. His absence is being acutely felt, as both teams make strategic adjustments during this neck-and-neck game.
The third quarter is underway, and fans are celebrating across the country. Leading analysts are taking a special interest in the spread, total, and moneyline for this intense clash as both world-class squads scramble to capitalize on every inch. The players’ performances and critical plays will of course be a huge factor in how the game plays out.
