Denver Nuggets vs Los Angeles Clippers

The Los Angeles Clippers face off against the Denver Nuggets at Intuit Dome for Game Six of their first-round playoff battle in order to extend their postseason progression.

The Nuggets will take their 131-115 Game Five victory to Los Angeles with the goal of finishing off the series in this contest.

The Los Angeles Clippers travelled to the Ball Arena following their record-breaking playoff loss to search for an advantage in the series while the match stood 2-2 following the initial four games.

The Clippers faced an impossible climb against the Nuggets during the fourth quarter because they started every period late offensively and ended the third quarter 16 points behind.

The outstanding 27 points from Ivica Zubac and Kawhi Leonard proved invalid when alongside Norman Powell and James Harden the two produced 23 points while only shooting 8-21 from the field.

Through four previous matches the Clippers were leading with 11 more deep shots but lost the edge to scoring from distance in this game, finishing 17-11 in the final tally.

Friday's game will require the Clippers to show exceptional performance in their home stadium to escape postseason elimination for the third consecutive year following Phoenix Suns and Dallas Mavericks defeat at this stage.

The Nuggets recovered after conceding the first 3-1 deficit to win successive games and secure their position for advancing to the following round.
