SCOREBOARD

ASSOCIATED PRESS

Flights home from the NBA’s bubble are planned whenever a team is on the cusp of elimination, just in case they’re needed. Denver is in no hurry to board that plane. The never-say-die Nuggets pulled off another season-saving comeback — and after rallying from 19 points down with 22 minutes remaining, they will see the Los Angeles Clippers in Game 7 on Tuesday night in Kissimmee, Fla., for a berth in the Western Confer- ence finals. Nikola Jokic had 34 points, 14 rebounds and seven assists, and the Nuggets topped the Clippers, 111-98, on Sunday to even their Western Conference semifinal series at three games apiece. The Nuggets will try to become the first team in NBA history to rally from a pair of 3-1 deficits in the same postseason after doing so against Utah in the first round. “I’m running out of adjectives, superlatives, whatever you want to call it to speak on our team,” Nuggets Coach Michael Malone said. “That is a tough, resilient group of you-know-whats. I love our team. I love our team. I love our toughness.” Jamal Murray scored 21 points for Denver, which got 16 from Gary Harris, 13 from Michael Porter Jr. and 10 from Monte Morris. The Nuggets outscored the Clippers 62-27 over a dizzying 20-minute stretch of the second half, turning everything around. “I don’t know how we did it, to be honest,” Jokic said. “That’s an amazing team. They are really tal- ented, well coached. They’re really scary.” Paul George had 33 points, Kawhi Leonard scored 25 and Lou Williams had 14 for the Clippers, who are 0-7 in games in which they could clinch a trip to the conference finals. The Clippers were outscored by 29 after halftime, their worst such deficit of the season. “It’s frustrating,” Clippers Coach Doc Rivers said. “Listen, when you decide to be a coach it’s not going to be roses every day. We clearly have the right formula as far as how we’re playing, and then we keep losing it.” The Nuggets were down 16 at the half — the fourth time out of six games in the series when they trailed by at least that many in a game — and eventually fell behind by 19 in the third quarter. “I just think we’re a really good team,” Murray said. “It shouldn’t get to this point.” Of course, the Nuggets flourish when they’re in trouble. They saved their season in Game 5 of the opening round by rallying from 15 points down in the third quarter against Utah to set the tone for a rally from a 3-1 series deficit. They saved them- selves again in Game 5 of this series, falling behind by 16 before coming back. On Sunday, more of the same. George hit a three-pointer shortly after halftime for a 1 9-point lead, and Leonard made a pair of free throws with 8:27 left in the third quarter to put the Clip- pers up 73-55. That’s apparently when the Nuggets decided it was time to get going. Over the next 10 minutes, the Nuggets outscored the Clippers 30-8. Denver had eight players score in that stretch, with Murray and Morris scoring seven apiece, and the big deficit became an 8 5-81 lead with 10:16 left. “It’s not that we don’t respect them,” George said. “We respect the opponent. They got this far for a reason.” “It’s going to sound weird or funny or whatever, but we don’t care,” Jokic said. “We’re just going to go there and have fun.”

D’Antoni leaving Houston Mike D’Antoni told the Hous- ton Rockets that he will not be back as their coach next season, essentially choosing free agency over a return to the club with which he has spent the past four seasons. D’Antoni told the Rockets on Sunday — not even a full day after the team’s season ended with a playoff loss to the Los Angeles Lakers — that he would seek coaching options elsewhere for next season and not return to Houston. Team owner Tilman Fer- titta confirmed the move. ESPN first reported the 6 9-year-old coach’s decision.

kissimmee, fla. — A group of
more than two dozen people
stopped traffic near the front
entrance of the NBA’s bubble at
Disney World on Saturday night
to peacefully protest the police
shooting of Salaythis Melvin.
The late-night demonstration
held up multiple buses trans-
porting media members and
league staffers who were travel-
ing between Adventhealth Are-
na, where the Los Angeles Lakers
had just eliminated the Houston
Rockets from the playoffs, and

the Coronado Springs Resort property, which has been home to the NBA’s restart since early July. Melvin, 22, was shot and killed Aug. 7 by an Orange County sheriff’s deputy in the parking lot of the Florida Mall in Orlando, 15 miles from the NBA bubble. The Black Lives Matter protesters walked into traffic and approached the front of the media buses at the intersection of Coronado Springs and Buena Vista Drive, directly in front of the main entrance to the Gran Destino Tower. That Disney hotel is the temporary home for the Lakers and the NBA’s other remaining contenders, and the sur- rounding property, which is fenced off to the public, houses staffers and media members. The protesters chanted, “No justice, no peace”; displayed

“Justice 4 Salaythis” signs; and wore shirts that read, “Arrest the deputy that killed Salaythis Mel- vin.” They also appealed directly to multiple NBA players: One sign read, “LeBron, stand with us,” while another included the jersey numbers of James, Antho- ny Davis, James Harden and Russell Westbrook alongside the words, “Orlando needs you.” “We are here because Orange County Sheriff’s Deputy James Montiel shot and killed an inno- cent black man at the Florida Mall on August 7, 2020,” read one banner held by three protesters. The protesters refused to move when one bus driver inched forward and honked his horn, but they eventually left the roadway once local authorities arrived. The demonstration was the first of its kind near the NBA’s

restricted bubble, where teams, league officials and media members have lived for more than two months isolated from the rest of the world so that games could continue during the novel coro- navirus pandemic. NBA players have spent months advocating on behalf of social justice issues and partici- pating in protests following the police killings of George Floyd and Breonna Taylor. Last month, the Milwaukee Bucks decided not to take the court in protest of the police shooting of Jacob Blake. Some players, including Boston Celtics forward Jaylen Brown, have expressed frustra- tion that they cannot leave the bubble to join the protests that have continued across the country in recent months. The NBA and the National Basketball Players Association

took steps this summer on social justice matters, including estab- lishing a 10-year, $300 million foundation for Black communi- ties, affixing “Black Lives Mat- ter” decals to the courts, adding optional messages to players’ jerseys and pursuing voter edu- cation and registration initia- tives. Adventhealth Arena and the Coronado Springs Resort are protected and monitored by nu- merous layers of security, including 24-hour video surveillance, NBA security, Disney security officers, local police and Osceola County sheriff’s deputies. Earlier in the week, Houston Rockets forward Danuel House left the bubble after an NBA security investigation concluded he host- ed an unauthorized guest in his hotel room. [email protected]
