Very quickly, Game 3 kicked off.
The Clippers continued to adjust their starting lineup.
Paul, Crawford, Bamot, Griffin, Little Jordan.
In the last game, Bamot was primarily defending Zeng Xingyang, and Zeng Xingyang didn't fully explode, making Rivers think this could be tried again defensively.
The Nuggets' starting lineup remained unchanged.
The jump ball between the two sides.
Little Jordan and Jokic jumped almost simultaneously.
Little Jordan clearly jumped higher, flipping the ball to Paul.
Paul dribbled past half court, running tactics.
Paul wasn't as anxious as the last game and instead signaled for a tactical play.
Passed the ball to Crawford, who, facing Harris, didn't make a move, but passed it to Griffin on the right side of the free-throw line.
Griffin was very patient, not rushing with the ball. He dribbled a step out, executed a hand-off to Paul, and then came forward to screen off Zeng Xingyang.
