Kawhi Leonard had the potential to go down as one of the greatest players ever in his era, but injuries were constantly getting in his way. Since arriving in Los Angeles, he's played in only 266 regular-season games for the Clippers despite being under contract there for six years.

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.

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.
