Outside of Williams, Montrezl Harrell was putting his imprint on this game early. Harrell was very active on the glass, as well as had a couple big time blocks to start a couple of transition runs for the Clippers. Everything was going good for the Clippers except stopping Jamal Murray. Murray dropped 20 points in the second quarter to cut the deficit to two points at the half, 56-54.

The Nuggets outscored the Clippers 28-18 in the quarter. In the fourth quarter, the Nuggets was in complete control, as Nikola Jokic and Gary Harris put pressure on the Clippers on the offensive end. They were knocking down their shots and making life difficult for Los Angeles. The Nuggets went on to thump the Clippers 104-89.
