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.

Jamal Murray erupted for 43 points and Russell Westbrook chipped in 21 in his return from a foot injury, sparking the Nuggets’ 131-115 win over the Los Angeles Clippers on Tuesday night that gave Denver a 3-2 lead in the best-of-seven series.

This is the Jamal Murray Nuggets fans have been waiting for this postseason. With this version of Murray, playing off Nikola Jokic, the Denver Nuggets resemble their 2023 championship team. The issue this season has been that version of Murray has not been around consistently.
