In an emphatic Game 7 victory, the Denver Nuggets dominated the Los Angeles Clippers 120-101, advancing to face the Oklahoma City Thunder in the next playoff round. This win not only lifted the Nuggets past their previous Game 7 collapse but also showcased a balanced offensive effort, particularly from Aaron Gordon, who scored 22 points, and Christian Braun, adding 21. Nikola Jokic contributed significantly with 16 points, 10 rebounds, and 8 assists, though he was supported by a collective team effort.

Denver exploded in the second and third quarters, outscoring the Clippers 72-40, thanks largely to a 17-0 run. On defense, Braun excelled in limiting James Harden to just 7 points. Kawhi Leonard led LA with 22 points, but the Clippers struggled to keep pace as Denver capitalized on transition opportunities and maintained control throughout the game.
