The Los Angeles Clippers faced off against the Denver Nuggets in a pivotal Game 7 of the playoffs, coached by Tyronn Lue, who had a history of success in such games. However, the team suffered a decisive loss with a score of 120-101 at the Ball Arena, ultimately being eliminated from the series. The Nuggets capitalized on their home advantage, dominating the game, particularly in the third quarter. While Kawhi Leonard performed well, James Harden's struggles continued, reflecting the team's shortcomings. The victory propelled the Nuggets into the second round of the playoffs against Oklahoma City.
It takes really good players to accomplish that tough feat, and I believed I had those really good players in Kawhi Leonard, James Harden, and the rest of my crew.
The home team had won 74.2% of the time in Game 7s, and by winning the best-of-seven series 4-3 over the Clippers, the Nuggets left little doubt.
Sending the Clippers home for the summer to contemplate what might have been and sending the Nuggets for the second round against Oklahoma City.
The Nuggets made sure they kept it in their favor with a 120-101 beatdown.
