What a tremendous night it was. A beautiful series comes to an end. Denver Nuggets wins against Los Angeles Clippers in a nail-biting series, one which was a delight for NBA Fans.
Jamal Murray and Nikola Jokic made the NBA aware of the real underdog team of the Western Conference beating the top tier team. Kawhi Leonard couldn’t capitalize on the Championship mentality of last season. Maybe his team didn’t back him right this time.

Many people around the NBA couldn’t handle the Clippers Lose. Or maybe, in retrospect, they pondered over their decision to support the team.

LA Clippers almost had a super-team with Kawhi Leonard and Paul George coming to play for them this season. Patrick Beverley and Lou Williams were sub-par support for the Kawhi lead team this season, especially in Orlando Bubble. Orlando Bubble didn’t seem to be going on the right path for them. They were then taken down by Denver Nuggets in Game 7, handing them out a 15 point deficit.

Kawhi and Paul George will have to now sit with Doc Rivers to sort out the hiccups this season, especially in the Bubble. This will help the Clippers come out strong next season.
