Everywhere James Harden tried to go, there was Christian Braun in his way. For that, thank the personal scouting report offered up from Harden's former teammate and Denver Nuggets sixth man Russell Westbrook.

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.

As the shot clock wound down, Braun stayed airtight to Harden’s body without fouling, a well-timed double by Jamal Murray forcing Harden into a stifled stepback three that hit only air. And Braun turned towards the baseline as the 24-second buzzer rang red, bellowing, another possession won against one of the NBA’s star guards.
