The tiebreak battle between the Clippers and the Nuggets in 2025 is about to begin. Here are the three key points that determine the outcome of the game:

1. Harden and Jokic's superstar matchup

- Harden's stability: Harden performed well in G6, scoring 28 points, 6 rebounds and 8 assists, and showing a leading role at critical moments. He averaged 21.3 points, 5.8 rebounds and 7 assists in his career tiebreaker, and has rich experience.

- Jokic's dominance: Jokic contributed 25+7+8 in G6, but the Nuggets coach complained that the referee did not give enough free throw support. Jokic's organizational ability and low-post singles in tiebreak will be the core of the Nuggets' offense.

2. Performance of role players

-Clippers' Powell and Batum: Powell scored 24 points efficiently, Batum contributed key defense (10 blocks in the series), and their outside shooting and defensive rotation are crucial.

- Nuggets' Murray and Westbrook: Murray needs to regain his outside feel, and Westbrook's key mistake in the final quarter of G6 (missed in the empty basket) must be avoided, otherwise it may become the Nuggets' weakness.

3. Defensive strategy and on-the-spot adjustment

-Clippers' defensive intensity: The Clippers need to continue the defensive oppressiveness of the G6, especially limiting Jokic's passing route to avoid the Nuggets' outside shooter group bursting out.

-Nuggets' defense replacement and counterattack: If the Nuggets want to win, they must use the Clippers' replacement loopholes to allow Murray and Gordon to attack the inside, while improving defensive confrontation, such as the "tit for tooth" strategy hinted by coach Adelman.

Summary

The winner and loss of tiebreak may depend on superstar performance, role player X factors, and coach tactical adjustments. The Clippers have Harden's tiebreak experience, while the Nuggets rely on Jokic's comprehensiveness and team resilience. The game will start at 7:30 on May 4, full of suspense.
