Before the Los Angeles Clippers and Denver Nuggets took the floor for Game 5 of their second-round series at Walt Disney World, the NBA held a moment of silence on the 19-year anniversary of the 9/11 tragedy.

Nuggets head coach Michael Malone was actually in New York on Sep. 11, 2001. He was an assistant coach on the New York Knicks, so 9/11 will always impact him deeply.
The Clippers are one win away from advancing to the conference finals for the first time in franchise history. The Nuggets, meanwhile, are trying to come back from a 3-1 series deficit, again.
Denver, of course, erased a 3-1 deficit in the first round of their NBA playoffs series against the Utah Jazz.
