Social media reacts to Nuggets stomping Clips in Game 7: ‘James Harden is the most consistent player we’ve seen’
The Nuggets pummelled the Clippers in Game 7, outscoring the Clippers 99-75 from the second quarter to the end. Nikola Jokic had a pedestrian statline (for him) with 16 points, 10 rebounds, eight assists, but that didn’t matter. All of the Nuggets’ starters finished with at least 15 points, and Russell Westbrook chipped in with 16 points off the bench.
Kawhi Leonard led the Clippers with 22 points on 13 shots, but James Harden struggled in another Game 7 with seven points.
Nuggets will head to Oklahoma City to start their series on Monday.

Incredible how close this series was to Clippers sweeping or going up 3-1 through 4 and now they have completely fallen apart in Game 7.

Death by Russell Westbrook in the ENTIRE series without one bad game is a very Clippers thing to happen.

Kawhi Leonard ends the first round by averaging a series-leading 25.0 points to go with 7.6 rebounds and 4.7 assists. Leonard shot 53.7% from the field and 40.5% on 3s. Didn’t end in a series win, but Leonard comes out of it healthy for the first time since 2020 and looked good.

James Harden’s name should never be mentioned in the same sentence as Dwyane Wade. Enough is enough

James Harden has played in seven Game 7s in his career
He has averaged 19.2 PPG & 7.9 APG on 35.5% FG & 23.2% 3FG
Yikes, man. That is uniquely ugly stuff.

James Harden is the most consistent player we’ve seen

Here’s something wild: in the games in which his team was eliminated in the playoffs in each of the last three seasons, James Harden has scored 9, 16, and 7 points respectively.
