The Los Angeles Clippers faced a thrilling overtime loss against the Denver Nuggets, 112-110, in Game 1 of their playoff series. Key moments included a pivotal three-pointer by Russell Westbrook that shifted momentum, and a near steal by Norman Powell that ultimately didn't turn the tide. The Clippers showcased strong performances particularly from James Harden, who scored 32 points, and Ivica Zubac, who recorded a double-double. However, the game also highlighted missed opportunities, particularly from Chris Dunn, whose open shot could have altered the outcome. Moving forward, the Clippers must capitalize on Zubac's effectiveness in the paint and continue their strong defensive efforts against Denver's stars, including Nikola Jokic and Jamal Murray.
