Summary

The Los Angeles Clippers faced elimination in Game 7, so coach Tyronn Lue made a bold move by calling all his players for Game 6. With James Harden struggling earlier, the Clippers turned to their stars: Leonard and Batum. Leonard's shooting and Batum's double-double highlighted the small-ball strategy that paid off with critical stops and open looks. The win capped an historic series, setting up Game 7 as the Clippers prepare to face Denver once again.
