Russ really won them that game with his play in the 2nd quarter.
- Making 3s
- Pushing the pace
- Getting to the line
- Making defensive stops.
Both teams were going through the motions, and then he just completely disrupted the flow of the game (fortunately,, in favor of Denver). Nobody on the Clips could match his energy. The Nuggets simply followed his lead, turning a 5-point deficit into a 11-point lead at the half.
They didn't look back after that.
