The Los Angeles Clippers got rocked by the Denver Nuggets in Game 7 on Saturday, losing 120-101 in a blowout that was nowhere near as close as even that wide margin would indicate. With under nine minutes to go the Clippers trailed by 35.

With the loss, they have now been eliminated from the 2025 NBA playoffs. James Harden finished with seven points, five rebounds, 13 assists, two steals and one block while shooting 2/8 from the field and 1/4 from the three-point range in 35 minutes of playing time.

Harden has 28 points and eight assists in a bounce-back performance, Kawhi Leonard scores 27 and the Clippers hold on for a 111-105 win to set up a winner-take-all showdown Saturday in Denver.
