00:00 Nuggets will live to see another day as Denver came away with a
00:04 111 105 win over the Clippers in game five and hey closeout games are
00:09 Tough and I'm joined now by our Clippers reporter Farabod Esnashari and Farabod
00:14 We've seen this story before I know this Clippers team had some struggles
00:19 But they were up until midway through the fourth quarter. What happened there?
00:22 You know, they got really comfortable
00:25 They let Paul Millsap just kind of go off in the third quarter and when the Nuggets were dead in the water and they were
00:30 Completely done Paul Millsap kept him in the game kind of like Josh Smith kept the Rockets in the game in 2015
00:36 It was pretty similar to have a veteran who's been cold averaging eight points a game
00:40 Suddenly decide, you know to keep the team alive once you give the Nuggets a little bit of confidence
00:45 That's that's all they really need because they've already come back from 3-1 before and by that point the Clippers just kept shooting too many
00:52 Jumpers it took too long to get Kawhi in they took too long get Zubats back in and the snowball had started
00:57 And outside of Millsap - it wasn't really helping that Jokic and Murray both got going from deep late but talking about Kawhi
01:04 We saw the passion we saw him banging his chest
01:07 We saw kind of a little bit more fiery side that I think we've ever seen from him on the basketball court
01:12 Can he take that energy and propel the Clippers in game six in just two days? I
01:19 Mean I have I have no doubts about Kawhi to be honest
01:22 A lot of this loss is shouldered on the bench, you know, Lou Williams and Montrezl Harrell
01:27 They're supposed to average 36 points a game in the regular season off the bench
01:31 It's supposed to be the most prolific bench duo in NBA history
01:33 But tonight, you know, they put up five for 17 ten points
01:39 That's that's you're not gonna win any games if you're the Clippers when your six man of the year and your previous six man of the
01:45 Year only put up ten points
01:47 Absolutely. Well the Clippers and the Nuggets will face one another once again Sunday night Farbaugh doesn't sorry. Thank you so much for the insight
01:54 You
