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?

Nikola Jokic posted a solid triple-double for the Nuggets, scoring 23 points on 9-of-14 shooting, adding 13 rebounds and 13 assists. It wasn't nearly enough for Denver, though, as the blowout loss, at the hands of 18 Clippers 3-pointers, gives them a 2-1 deficit in the series.
