The Clippers won Game 2 at Ball Arena 105-102, and twice in the Nikola Jokic era the Nuggets have succumbed in a Game 7 at home, against Portland in 2019 and against Minnesota last year when Denver blew a 20-point second-half lead.

Murray surpassed Nikola Jokic for the most 40-point playoff games in Nuggets history with his sixth. The feat was even more impressive considering the fact that Murray only made it to the free throw line one time during the entire contest.
