The Denver Nuggets suffered injuries to Nikola Jokic (lower back pain) and Jamal Murray during the game against the Los Angeles Clippers held at Crypto.com Arena on November 28th (local time, 27th local time, same date below). The team will be without three starters, Aaron Gordon (right hamstring strain) and Aaron Gordon (right heel strain).
The Clippers, on the other hand, have four superstars in Kawhi Leonard, Paul George, Russell Westbrook, and James Harden, which should have been a disadvantage for last season’s champion Nuggets.
Michael Porter Jr. was in foul trouble for the Nuggets, and he shot 23.1 percent (3/13) from the field for a total of 8 points, 10 rebounds and 3 assists, and Kentavious Caldwell-Pope shot 21.4 percent (3/14) from the field. They scored a total of 12 points, and the rest of the starting lineup also missed shots, but after 13 ties and 13 lead changes, they won 113-104.
“When you can win a game without your best players, it shows the depth of the team you have and the belief in each other. Tonight was special.”
Nuggets head coach Michael Malone said this after the game, praising the efforts of his players. The team was led by the veteran duo of Reggie Jackson and DeAndre Jordan. Jackson has been with the Clippers for about four seasons, including midway through last season, and Jordan has been with the Clippers for the first 10 seasons of his NBA career, and the two veterans put together an impressive performance against their old team.
Although the two players were not teammates on the Clippers, they made five alley-oops in the game. Jordan leapt up from Jackson’s pass and hit the opposing team’s rim with a spectacular dunk.
Jackson went on a rampage with a game-high 35 points and 13 assists, hitting 78.9 percent from the field (15/19). Jordan also scored a total of 21 points at 72.7 percent (8/11) and grabbed a team-high 13 rebounds, leading the Nuggets to their 12th win (6 losses) of the season.
Jackson, who led the team to victory with his outstanding performance, said, “It was definitely one of those wins that felt good. It was a really great win for the team, even though we didn’t have our main players. We were a tenacious group. I’m proud that I kept fighting,” he said.
It can be said that Jackson’s work was admirable, with his skillful ball handling, making layups, jumpers, and 3-point shots, while also creating scoring opportunities for his teammates with his sharp passing.
