Even with Nikola Jokic submitting a pedestrian scoring night in Game 5, t Nuggets still beat the L.A. Clippers.

The LA Clippers entered Denver in a must-win Game 5 against the Nuggets on Tuesday night, instead, they put up one of their most disappointing games of the season. From the moment the game began, the Clippers looked like a team lacking the hustle to win a game.

The momentum lies with the Denver Nuggets after a dominant 131-115 win over the Los Angeles Clippers on Tuesday. The Nuggets, who escaped Game 4 with a win thanks to a buzzer-beating dunk from Aaron Gordon, made it a 3-2 series with Tuesday's win.
