The Clippers are suffocating Nikola Jokic’s paint. Is it a sustainable strategy for the Nuggets to keep relying on role players like Russell Westbrook to score? Do they have a choice?

Jokic has now recorded triple-doubles in back-to-back games, only for the Nuggets to lose on each occasion. The seven-time All-Star appears to be getting increasingly frustrated by the team's struggles, as evidenced by his actions on the bench in this latest loss.

The Los Angeles Clippers blew out the Denver Nuggets 117-83 on Thursday night, proving the league was right to relegate the game to NBA TV and promote the Oklahoma City Thunder and Memphis Grizzlies so the majority of basketball fans could watch the biggest second-half comeback in NBA history.
