The Los Angeles Clippers clinched a thrilling 111-105 victory over the Denver Nuggets, forcing a decisive Game 7 in their playoff series. Key performances came from James Harden, who led with 28 points, Kawhi Leonard adding 27, and a standout defensive effort by Ivica Zubac, who contained Nikola Jokic effectively. Despite some late-game struggles and a lack of ball movement, the Clippers maintained their composure, thanks to crucial contributions from Norman Powell and the underrated Nico Batum, who made a significant impact beyond scoring.

As the series shifts back to Denver for Game 7, the Clippers will need to address their offensive stagnation and ensure they don’t fall into similar patterns of late-game complacency. The energy from the home crowd, alongside adjustments made, will be vital for them to advance past the Nuggets.
