The Nuggets-Clippers playoff series has delivered incredible drama with four unique games showcasing championship-level resilience. Aaron Gordon's historic game-winning buzzer-beating dunk saved Game 4 and tied the series 2-2, becoming the first playoff buzzer-beating dunk in NBA history.

• Game 1 featured Westbrook's redemption with crucial three-pointers against his former team
• Despite Kawhi Leonard's dominance in Game 2, MPJ contributed 15 points and 15 rebounds before a late turnover and shoulder injury
• Clippers dominated Game 3 with hot three-point shooting, winning by 34 points
• Denver built a 22-point lead in Game 4 before exhaustion allowed LA back in, setting up Gordon's miracle finish
• Jokić is averaging approximately 28 points, 13 rebounds, and 10 assists despite facing constant double teams
• The entire team is battling through injuries - MPJ playing through what should be a 4-5 week absence
• A confrontation between Harden and Christian Brown united the Nuggets, similar to the 2020 playoff comeback
• Denver's thin bench and late-night start times (10-10:30 PM ET) create additional challenges
• The series winner will face a well-rested Oklahoma City team that swept Memphis

The Nuggets shocked the basketball world by firing both championship-winning head coach Michael Malone and general manager Calvin Booth with just three games left in the regular season, sparking a dramatic turnaround in team energy and performance. Stories revealed a toxic power struggle where Malone would purposely set up practice to humiliate players drafted by Booth while Booth would trade veterans to force Malone to play younger talent.

• Both men built the championship team but ultimately tore the organization apart through stubbornness
• Coach Malone transformed the Nuggets culture and should be remembered as the team's greatest coach despite the ugly ending
• Interim coach David Adelman has brought joy back to the team, winning three straight games
• Jokić's quote about the "beast being most dangerous when vulnerable" signals a potential playoff awakening
• The MVP race between Jokić and SGA shows Jokić has transcended the award – now recognized as the best player regardless
• Nuggets vs. Clippers first-round matchup will be a fascinating battle between the rejuvenated champions and one of the league's hottest teams
• Jamal Murray's performance against tough Clippers defenders could determine both the series and his future with the team

The Denver Nuggets are in a tailspin with four straight losses despite Nikola Jokić's historic offensive production. Championship hopes are fading as the team battles injuries, exhaustion, and disconnection with just three games left in the regular season.

• Fourth in the West but tied for eighth, with the play-in tournament becoming a real possibility
• Jamal Murray's hamstring injury now considered more than day-to-day, might miss playoffs
• Aaron Gordon and Michael Porter Jr. playing through injuries but significantly limited
• Jokić showing visible frustration with teammates' lack of movement and effort
• Team chemistry has disappeared compared to last season's connected championship squad
• Potential for major organizational changes if playoffs end poorly
• Best case scenario: getting healthy during a week off and recapturing last year's magic
