00:00The LA Clippers suffered a familiar feeling loss on Sunday afternoon dropping game six
00:04the Denver Nuggets by a final score of 111-98 and tying the series up 3-3.
00:09Much like game five of this series, LA was in control for the entirety of the
00:12first half and then some. Kawhi Leonard, Paul George and company were engaged on
00:17both ends of the floor. The Clippers got to a 68-49 lead with 10 minutes
00:22to play in the third quarter of the game. But from that point on unfortunately it
00:26was all Denver. Over the final 22 minutes of the contest the Nuggets
00:29outscored the Clippers 62-30 obliterating the 19-point advantage LA
00:34once had and running away with the lead. A 17-0 run by Denver basically took LA
00:39out of the game and as soon as the Nuggets took their lead early in the
00:42fourth quarter Clippers never managed to recover. After the game Clippers coach
00:46Doc Rivers blamed LA's offense as the reason for the downfall saying quote it
00:50was beautiful basketball and then we stopped playing. We stopped moving the
00:53ball, we stopped attacking on offense and that's what allowed them to score on
00:56defense because we didn't score. Now as both teams approach game seven, Kawhi
01:01Leonard says Clippers to be the team that gives it all on the court in that final
01:04game of the series saying quote you just gotta leave it on the floor and make sure you're
01:08paying attention to detail and executing and communicating on the defensive end and
01:11that's all we can do. Go out there and play hard and just make sure we know the
01:14game plan. Clippers and Nuggets meet again on Tuesday night for game seven of
01:18this series. The winner will move on to face off with the Los Angeles Lakers in
01:22the West Conference Finals while the loser will have their season come to an end.
