The first round of the NBA Playoffs is winding down as only two games were played on Tuesday. Following up a historic pair of 50-point games from Donovan Mitchell and Jamal Murray, the Denver Nuggets took care of business to extend the series to a Game 6. Then the late-game saw the Clippers beat down Dallas to take control of the series with sensational showings on both sides of the ball.
Enjoy the best highlights from Tuesday’s NBA Playoff action all in one place:
Jamaal Murray refused to lay down and begin offseason vacation planning as he propelled the Nuggets past the Jazz with his second consecutive 40+ point game. He would go on to execute a nifty 360-degree lay-in and hit a pair of clutch buckets to ice the game in crunch time.
JAMAL. MURRAY. 🔥

The Joker tested his luck of keeping a perfect shooting percentage as he swished home a three-point runner to end quarter No. 1 with a bang and retain an 8-8 FGM rate. He literally couldn’t miss in the first quarter.

In a potentially series-sealing game, Denver and Utah were duking it out with a critical one period of play left. On cue, the playoff dominant Donovan Mitchell took flight down the middle of the paint to embarrass Denver’s defense with a tomahawk hammer.

Recently being reintegrated into L.A.’s rotation, Montrezl Harrell was playing with an extra bit of pep in his step in Game 5 as he made only his sixth career three-pointer and rose up for a devastating two-handed jam.
