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.

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.
