As the clock ticked down, the Clippers’ Kawhi Leonard attempted to showcase his dominance, facing off against Jamal Murray. But Murray’s quick reflexes led to a pivotal turnover when he poked the ball free, sending it out of bounds off Leonard. Jokic, sensing the urgency, rushed in to secure possession, only to find himself in a heated battle for the ball with Van Gundy and the Clippers’ coaching staff. The Clippers challenged the call, but the outcome remained in the Nuggets’ favor.
