We're down to the deciding game in this Western Conference semi-final between the Los Angeles Clippers and the Denver Nuggets. The Los Angeles Lakers await in the conference final, so will it be an all LA battle to reach the NBA fInal?  The Clippers are the second seeds behind the Lakers but have had a real battle on their hands to get past the Nuggets. A `13-point victory put the Clippers 1-0 up in this best of-seven series. A storming first quarter performance helped the Nuggets level the score at 1-1 and Denver had a good chance of making it 2-1. They led going into the final quarter but the Clippers fought back to win that game and then took the next to make it 3-1. 

That left Denver needing to win all three remaining games to win the series. They came from behind to win the fifth and then overturned a 16-point half time deficit to level this series at 3-3. It's all to play for in this game and the tip is for the Clippers to get the win. Kawhi Leonard has been in good form throughout, including scoring 36 points in the fifth match. He helped Toronto win the NBA title last season and he's got the ability to do that with the Clippers this time around. True champs rise to the occasion, the Clippers have to do that in this match.
