Kawhi Leonard is not stunned Clippers and Nuggets are locked in playoff showdown

Sometimes, Kawhi Leonard stated after Recreation 4 Saturday at Intuit Dome, the 4 and 5 seeds in NBA playoff matchups are equal in some ways.

That they had similar 50-32 information and break up the 4 video games they performed towards one another within the common season.

“It’s like another four, five seeding series,” Leonard stated. “You usually get some tough battles in these seedings. You guys watched the ending of the last two weeks, three weeks of the season and everybody was fighting. I think we pretty much have the same record. So, that’s how it is. The matchups might be different, different styles of play, but both teams are fighting to win.”

Three of the 4 video games have come right down to the ultimate seconds. The Clippers misplaced Recreation 1 in extra time by two factors. The Clippers received Recreation 2 on the highway by three factors. The Clippers blew out the Nuggets in Recreation 3 by 37 factors. In Recreation 4, Aaron Gordon tipped in a Nikola Jokic missed three-pointer with an influence dunk simply earlier than time expired to present Denver a two-point win.

The most recent loss was emotionally draining for the Clippers after their rally from a 22-point deficit fell simply quick.

They got the will, they got the guys, they are not going to quit. It’s just us going back to the drawing board and seeing how we can improve.”

All 5 of Denver’s starters performed a minimum of 42 minutes in Recreation 4. However they received two days off to recuperate.

And the Nuggets have Jokic — he’s averaging a triple-double within the collection with 28.5 factors, 13.5 rebounds and 10.8 assists.

“We’re going back to Denver, so I think now it’s best-of-three and the series is even and it’s completely different, I would think,” Jokic stated.

The Clippers are leaning on their 4 prime gamers to information them and their formidable protection.

Leonard leads in scoring (26.5 factors per sport), adopted by James Harden (21.3), Ivica Zubac (18.8) and Powell (16.8). Zubac leads the Clippers in rebounding (11.5 per sport), Harden leads in assists (9.5), Leonard leads in steals (1.8) and veteran Nicholas Batum leads in blocks (1.2).
