James Harden showcased his elite skills, scoring 28 points and providing eight assists, leading the Los Angeles Clippers to a crucial Game 6 victory against the Denver Nuggets, with a final score of 111-105. In a do-or-die match, Harden's performance was complemented by Kawhi Leonard, who added 27 points, and Norman Powell, who contributed 24. This win allows the Clippers a chance to extend their postseason run into Game 7, a critical moment that highlights the synergy that Harden and Leonard have developed.

For the Philadelphia 76ers, it raises questions about what could have been had they managed to retain Harden, whose partnership with Joel Embiid was once considered unstoppable. As the Sixers exit the playoffs, Harden's pivotal role in the Clippers' playoff journey serves as a reminder of the potential that was lost in Philadelphia. With Game 7 looming, Harden aims to lead the Clippers further into the postseason, proving his worth on the big stage.
