The Ball Arena will host the seventh and final battle of the NBA first-round series between the Los Angeles Clippers and the Denver Nuggets on Saturday, May 3.

Until the sixth game, the fourth-seeded Nuggets had the upper hand in the playoff series by 3-2. Despite a strong start with his high-scoring capabilities, Nikola Jokic faced a more formidable defense from the Clippers in the second half. Eventually, Denver lost 111-105 to the Clippers, missing an opportunity to close the series.

On the other hand, the fifth-seeded Clippers, who were facing elimination in Game 6, bounced back to defeat the Nuggets. Clippers guard James Harden led the scoring with 28 points. The rest of their talent pools, including Kawhi Leonard, made a strong all-around game, and Norman Powell’s notable offensive play made the battle easy for them to win. Their tough defense in the second half forced the Nuggets to play the final game of the series.

The upcoming game seven between the Denver Nuggets and the Los Angeles Clippers will be a highly contested matchup as the series heads to a tie. Both teams are showing their recent powerful form. Denver has their home-court advantage, while the Clippers are gaining momentum from the recent game-six matchups. The outcome will rely on star performances from Murray and Jokic, supported by Leonard and Harden. Whichever team executes better defense and maintains a balanced rhythm in the final moments will likely come out on top.
