Jokic was perfect on 14 free-throw attempts, including two important ones in the final seconds to secure the win. The Clippers, who have lost five straight games since acquiring James Harden, fell to 0-2 in West Group B play. The Nuggets were without point guard Jamal Murray, who is expected to miss the rest of the month with a hamstring injury. Despite a strong performance from Harden and Paul George, the Clippers were unable to overcome the Nuggets. The game came down to the wire, with the Nuggets securing the win at the last moment.
