Denver used a balanced scoring attack to throttle LA, which couldn't get anything going in Game 7. The Nuggets and Thunder meet Monday in Game 1.

The first two games went down to the wire with the Nuggets taking Game 1 in overtime and the Clippers pulling out Game 2 in a thriller to send the series back to Los Angeles tied at 1-1. Game 3 was a far more lopsided affair as the Clippers cruised to a 117-83 victory to take a 2-1 series lead.

The Nuggets, with a Game 7 loss at home last season to the Timberwolves fresh in their memories, blew out the Clippers in the second half to clinch the series.
