Kawhi Leonard finishes with 26 points and James Harden scores 28 points as the Clippers defeat the Denver Nuggets 111-105 in Game 6 to tie the series 3-3.

INGLEWOOD, Calif. — A year ago in Minnesota, the Nuggets squandered their chance to close out a playoff series with a convincing absence of urgency. They lost by 45. They tempted fate, and fate crushed them in Game 7 back home.

The Los Angeles Clippers were able to force Game 7 against the Nuggets thanks to a big performance by James Harden.
