Kawhi Leonard had 21 and James Harden 20 in a very balanced attack for the Clippers. The Nuggets face some tough questions.

The Clippers played stingy defense and had six players score in double figures, rolling to a 117-83 win over the Denver Nuggets Thursday at the Intuit Dome.

Harden hit backup forward Nicolas Batum with a crisp behind-the-back bounce pass. After pump-faking former Clipper Russell Westbrook out of the frame, Batum hit a 3 that ignited a memorable pop. This is Playoff Intuit Dome.
