A year after blowing a 20-point fourth quarter lead in Game 7 to the Timberwolves, the Nuggets led by up to 35 and were not going to let the Clippers make a late comeback, ultimately cruising to a 120-101 win that makes the game sound closer than it actually was.

The two teams have taken different punches at one another, setting up a classic Game 7 showdown. Due to the Nuggets being the higher seed, they will be hosting the game at Ball Arena, offering them a slight advantage entering the contest.
