The series between the Nuggets and the Jazz was the only first-round series to have reached Game 7.
And its outcome could not have been more exciting.
One of those endings where everything happens, where
more mistakes
are mixed
than hits
and a ball that could have changed everything dances on the hoop.
It had been a fireworks tie, a spectacular duel in the sun on the perimeter between
Donovan Mitchell
(reaching an average of 40 points and scoring 33 3-pointers in the series, more than anyone ever) and
Jamal Murray
.
Two of the most plugged players in the bubble.
But the seventh came in a battle plagued with failures, of defensive dominance, in which the only truly fine one facing the basket was Nikola Jokic, the talent to the rescue.
The Jazz, who had been giving the bell despite not having had
Mike Conley
the first two nights (due to his paternity he had to leave Disney), were in tow throughout the meeting.
But they reacted in the second half, in which they rallied 19 points from
Rudy Gobert (19 points, 18 rebounds)
.
They took the game to the abyss, where the genius of Jokic emerged, who with a hook after a dance in the painting on the French put the basket that was going to be final.
Because the Jazz turned the ball over on their next attack, even though they were going to get another chance they never expected.
Hastily, the Nuggets ran to sentence.
Monte Morris missed and left seven seconds of attack to those of Salt Lake City.
Conley's desperate triple came out from within.
They let the Jazz slip a 3-1 in favor in their series, something that had not happened since 2016, and the Nuggets, favorites at the beginning, advance to now face the Clippers in the second round.
