The Nugget’s passing and communication was the real killer here. They were effortlessly passing and the Clippers wore themselves out trying to keep up.
4:34 – AG and Murray just strolled through the defense. Good team basketball.

Harden looks drugged out. The Clippers don’t have a vocal leader on the court to bring them together
