The Denver Nuggets enter Sunday afternoon with the hopes of dropping down into the dreaded 3-1 hole against the LA Clippers. The Nuggets are currently trailing in the series 1-2, after dropping Game 3 on Thursday night.

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.
