After missing six games, Norman Powell scores 28 points and Clippers defeat Nuggets, who get a triple-double from Nikola Jokic.
The Clippers returned home from a four-game trip with a 2-2 record, and for all of the hard work it took to earn those results, they had to face one of the NBA’s best talents in Denver’s otherworldly center Nikola Jokic. So, the challenge for coach Tyronn Lue on Sunday night and his team’s stingy defense was figuring out a way to deal with Jokic, who entered the game averaging a triple-double with 29.7 points per game , 13.1 rebounds and 10.6 assists .
By going six-for-15 from three-point range, Harden has 3,004 made threes over his career to become just the second player in NBA history to have more than 3,000 three-pointers made. Golden State’s Stephen Curry has the most in league history. To make it an even better night at Intuit Dome, it was Harden’s two free throws with 8.6 seconds left that sealed the deal for the Clippers and allowed them to beat the Nuggets for the second time this season.
