The Denver Nuggets weren't able to close the series out in six games, setting up a decisive Game 7 back in Denver against the Los Angeles Clippers. A series win that would mean a lot to both sides, it's clear after the game which side wanted it more.

In a disappointing offensive effort by the Clippers, the Nuggets blew out Los Angeles on their way to a 120-101 victory in Game 7. It was a total team effort, getting 15 or more points from all of the Nuggets' starters. In addition, veteran guard Russell Westbrook had another impressive performance off the bench, triggering a response from a former teammate.

Former Los Angeles Lakers and Chicago Bulls guard Patrick Beverley took to his X account to speak for Westbrook after his performance. The former MVP finished the game with 16 points, five rebounds, five assists, and five steals.

Westbrook received a lot of criticism from Clippers fans during the series, especially for his mistakes, such as missed layups. However, he ended up being the X-factor for the Nuggets, shooting an impressive 41.9% from three despite never being labeled as a shooter.

Now, Westbrook will move on to face the Oklahoma City Thunder, another former team of his where he first built his Hall of Fame resume.
