The Nuggets emerged with a 112-110 Game 1 overtime win over the Clippers after Nikola Jokic iced it with a pair of free throws with 6.5 seconds left. Russell Westbrook had made the decisive defensive play, knocking Nicolas Batum’s inbound pass out of bounds off a Clippers teammate to force a turnover in a three-point game.

The Clippers lead by as much as 15 points in the first half, but the host Nuggets make enough shots late in regulation to extend the game and prevail, 112-110. Game 2 is Monday night in Denver.

For one half and an overtime, Murray was exactly the player the Nuggets needed him to be to pull off a Game 1 win.
