Nuggets, Clippers set for winner-take-all game 7
- The Denver Nuggets and Los Angeles Clippers will play a winner-take-all Game 7 on Saturday at 7:30 p.m. EDT at Ball Arena in Denver to decide who advances in the Western Conference first round.
- The Clippers forced the decisive game by winning Game 6 111-105 at home, partly due to a strategic lineup change inserting Nicolas Batum for Kris Dunn.
- Key players include Jamal Murray, who is averaging 24 points this series with a standout 43-point Game 5, and Nikola Jokic, a three-time MVP averaging 29.6 points and 12.7 rebounds per game.
- Nicolas Batum played 34 minutes in Game 6, scoring six points with five rebounds and three blocks, and Nuggets coach David Adelman said Batum’s defense makes rotations tougher for Denver.
- The outcome will determine who advances to face the Oklahoma City Thunder and echoes last year’s Nuggets’ home Game 7 loss, highlighting the high stakes in the series’ final game.
