NBA - Reverse Denver, Knocked Out by Topfavorit Clippers!

After 2009, Jamal Murray scored 25 points in the opening quarter again in the main group final Nuggets, while Serbian Nikola Jokic scored 16 points, 13 assists and 22 rebounds with an amazing performance, the latter being a club record in the playoffs. Of the Clippers stars considered championship-winning, Kawhi Leonard scored 14 and Paul George only 10 points. The Californians also lost the eighth match of their existence that would have allowed them to advance to the Western finals.

Denver is the first team to turn twice from 1-3 in the playoffs, having previously said goodbye to the Utah Jazz with an incredible "resurrection." Of all the North American professional leagues, the Nuggets are the third to present this feat twice, previously the Kansas City Royals baseball players were able to do so in 1985 and then the Minnesota Wild hockey players in 2003.

The first act of the final brought an unexpected result in the East as well, beating the favorite Boston in the fourth quarter after a 14-point disadvantage in Miami, improving his balance to 9/1 in the current playoffs. In the Heat, Slovenian Goran Dragic scored 29 points, but the hero of the meeting was 18-point Bam Adebayo, who spectacularly blocked Jayson Tatum’s seemingly certain - and another overtime - bagging three seconds before the end of the overtime.

According to NBA statistics, the Celtics lost the second of 158 playoffs when they led by at least 12 points early in the final quarter.
