The Denver Nuggets narrowly defeated the Los Angeles Clippers 101-99 in a thrilling Game 4, thanks to Aaron Gordon's buzzer-beater, tying the series at 2-2. However, the Nuggets face a tough challenge as Russell Westbrook may miss Game 5 due to a left foot injury that kept him out of Game 4. Westbrook's absence is significant; he has averaged 10.7 points and 2.0 three-pointers per game in the series. His role off the bench has been pivotal, and the Nuggets may rely on Christian Braun if he cannot play. The stakes are high for Game 5 as both teams look to gain the upper hand in this tightly contested series.
