The Denver Nuggets and Los Angeles Clippers are meeting in one of the most intriguing matchups in the first round of the 2025 NBA playoffs. Game 1 lived up to the hype as Denver pulled out a 112-110 overtime win over L.

Russell Westbrook played in his first NBA Playoffs game for the Denver Nuggets on Saturday, and it was only fitting that it had to be against his former team, the Los Angeles Clippers.
