DENVER — The Clippers dropped a 112-110 overtime game to the Denver Nuggets Saturday night at Ball Arena to open the playoffs. They are down 1-0 in the best-of-seven series because Russell Westbrook was as a menace against his former team and supplied the Nuggets with the energy and big plays they needed to get the win.

On Saturday afternoon, the LA Clippers are playing the Denver Nuggets (in Colorado) for Game 1 of their series. Kawhi Leonard had 20 points, three rebounds, one assist and two steals while shooting 8/13 from the field and 1/2 from the three-point range in his first 29 minutes of playing time.
