Overall, in the second quarter, Zeng Xingyang's personal offense was a bit less; he was more focused on linking up the team.
By the end of the first half, the Clippers' explosive performance somewhat caught the Nuggets off guard.
Crawford scored 24 points by halftime, leaving Butler quite embarrassed.
Paul also played well in the second quarter, mainly increasing his assists, achieving a data of 12 points and 8 rebounds.
Of course, besides Zeng Xingyang, Jokic also performed well for the Nuggets, achieving 14 points, 9 rebounds, 3 assists, and 3 blocks.
Butler's defense today was mediocre, but he scored 14 points, mostly through inner cuts or mismatches.
Barkley didn't praise Zeng Xingyang, but instead lauded Crawford: "Sixth was amazing today, he was constantly in rhythm on the court, single-handedly breaking down the Nuggets' defense. The Nuggets mustn't be complacent; the Clippers aren't an average team. If you underestimate them, you'll pay the price of losing."
