On May 4, the first round of the playoffs was tiebreaker, the Los Angeles Clippers 101-120 Denver Nuggets (3-4). At the beginning of the third quarter, the Nuggets scored a 15-0 super attack wave, expanding their lead to nearly 30 points. The game lost the suspense of victory or defeat too early, and the Nuggets defeated the Clippers at home and won the tiebreak. The Nuggets advanced to the second round with their head held high, and their opponent in the semi-finals was the top seed of the Western Conference.

Nuggets' main player Jokic was interviewed by the media after the game. When talking about the impact of last year's tiebreak defeat (losing to the Timberwolves) on this game, Teacher Yo said: "For me personally, it has no impact at all, because I will not think about failure, nor will I think about what happened a year ago. I put all my attention and energy into this game, focus on the present, and live at this moment."

In this game, Jokic played for 32 minutes, made 6 of 14 shots, scored 16 points, 10 rebounds, 8 assists, 3 steals and 1 block.
