The Los Angeles Clippers are concerned, and rightly so.
Denver beat it 98: 111 yesterday (Sunday) and tied the Western Conference semifinal series 3: 3, but more than that - it showed that it is really a special team, which refuses to give up.
After in Game 5 the Nuggets erased a 16-point deficit and went back to victory, yesterday they came back from a 19-point deficit with 22 minutes left, and at the end of an amazing second half equalized the series to 3-3.
The two will now meet on the night between Tuesday and Wednesday for a decisive game, in which the winner will meet the Los Angeles Lakers in the regional final.

The Nuggets are full of confidence.
They had already done so in the previous round, coming back from a 3: 1 deficit to a 3: 4 win over Utah, so not only are they coming to Game 7 with good memories of the class ("Game 7 - the two most beautiful words in the English language", it is said in the league), Denver also knows they could become the first team ever to come back twice a season from a 3-1 deficit.
The psychological advantage, it seems, is on her side.
"We'm still in the driver's seat, we'm not in a panic," said Paul George, "we still have game number 7, and I love our chances. We have a great team, and we have to get ourselves out of the situation we got into. This game in depth and see how it is that twice in a row we lose a high margin, and see how we close such games and do not get involved. I do not think we have a mental problem in the team. We should also give credit to the opponent, that's what they should do. They did not give up. To close such games. "

Nikola Jukic provided a wonderful game of 34 points, 14 points and 7 assists, and some spectacular moves, with high shots and balls that dived in softly.
Jamal Marie added 21 points, Gary Harris 16, and the Nuggets enjoyed a tremendous second half in which they won 35:64, meaning 29 points, with Denver all coming in and the Clippers all shaking.
Jukic admitted at the end: "I can not even tell you what exactly happened, they led by 19 points, and I guess we just got more stops. The whole second half was amazing. I was not worried when Marie went down to the locker room because of the injury, it was clear to me that he He will not give up the game and I have believed all along. "
On his emotional outburst after a hat-trick he scored that set a double-digit advantage for the Nuggets: "It's the playoffs, the momentum we had along with the stops we got and the three-pointer I scored - made me explode like that."
Denver coach Michael Malone rejoiced at the end: "We knew what we needed to get out of this pit. We played a great defense in the second half we beat it 35:64. We made 11 straight stops at one point. I love our team, I love our toughness. It's no secret. "We won this game thanks to the defense, and when we save - our attack flows. It was a team effort, and our third quarter is perhaps the best quarter I remember in my five years on the team."

And maybe it's the nature of the club and the loser tradition that take over great players?
Paul George scored 33 points, Kwai Leonard added 25, but the Clippers dived to a 7-0 balance in games where they could qualify for a regional final.
Kwai Leonard: "What happened to us tonight happened to us in the previous game - we were led by a high margin, and they came back in the third quarter."
Kwai was asked if his team had "suffocated", and replied: "We just froze. We could not make a basket in the second half and so they came back."
Kwai, who also has extensive playoff experience, is ready for the challenge: "In Game 7 we have to leave everything on the floor. We'll have to pay attention to the little things, execute, cooperate, play strong and stick to our game plan. That's all we can do."
