Los Angeles Clippers vs. Denver Nuggets – Live Stream for Game 6 in the NBA Playoffs
The excitement continues in one of the most thrilling matchups of the first round of the 2025 NBA Playoffs, as the Denver Nuggets and Los Angeles Clippers clash in a series that has delivered from the start. After five intense games, Denver holds a 3-2 lead following a dominant 131-115 win in Game 5 on Tuesday night. Now, the series heads back to Los Angeles for Game 6, set for Thursday, May 1.
The early games were tight battles. Denver took Game 1 in overtime, while the Clippers edged out Game 2, sending the series back to L.A. tied 1-1. Game 3 saw the Clippers dominate with a 117-83 blowout. Game 4 was a dramatic classic, ending with Aaron Gordon’s last-second putback dunk that secured a 101-99 win for the Nuggets. In Game 5, the spotlight was all on Jamal Murray, who erupted for 43 points to carry Denver to victory.
Surprisingly, Nikola Jokić, the three-time MVP, wasn’t the top scorer — he finished with 13 points. The second half belonged to Murray, but it was Russell Westbrook who held things down in the first half, putting up 16 points in just nine minutes and helping Denver stay afloat while Jokić rested.
The Clippers now find themselves in a do-or-die situation. Kawhi Leonard, who had a quiet 20-point outing in Game 5, is known for stepping up in these moments — especially after his historic 45-point Game 6 performance against Dallas in 2021. The Clippers will need that version of Leonard if they hope to force a Game 7.
Both teams finished the regular season with identical 50-32 records, but Denver earned the No. 4 seed and home-court advantage thanks to the head-to-head tiebreaker. The Nuggets also made headlines late in the season when they parted ways with title-winning coach Michael Malone just three games before the playoffs. Assistant coach David Adelman took over and is relying heavily on Jokić to guide Denver through the postseason.
The Clippers entered the playoffs in strong form, going 19-9 after the All-Star break — the sixth-best record in the league. With Kawhi gradually ramping up his minutes throughout the season, they’re hoping he can now deliver at full strength.
