The Los Angeles Clippers needed a big performance out of James Harden on Thursday, and they got one. Facing elimination, the Clippers held off the Denver Nuggets, 111-105, in Game 6 behind 28 points,

This same scenario hit Denver a year ago with Minnesota, but the Nuggets are looking for a different outcome this time.

In the first half of Game 6 between the Clippers and Nuggets, Harden added to his long list of milestones – moving up to No. 12 in all-time steals in the playoffs. He achieved the milestone after passing Hall of Famer Clyde Drexler.
