Nikola Jokic got plenty of help from his teammates and Denver's scoring surge held up in a 120-101 blowout of the shellshocked Los Angeles Clippers.

Leonard led Los Angeles with 14 points at the break, while Harden struggled, going just 2-of-6 for seven points. Norman Powell chipped in four, and Ivica Zubac added eight. Braun paced the Nuggets with 11 points, while Gordon and Westbrook each scored 10, and Jokic had nine.

The Denver Nuggets and Los Angeles Clippers engaged in perhaps the most competitive first-round series of the 2025 NBA playoffs. Then Game 7 arrived, and the Nuggets absolutely trounced the Clippers.
