Denver built a lead that swelled to 35 points before cruising to a 120-101 victory to advance to a second-round clash with top-seeded Oklahoma City.

The Los Angeles Clippers got rocked by the Denver Nuggets in Game 7 on Saturday, losing 120-101 in a blowout that was nowhere near as close as even that wide margin would indicate. With under nine minutes to go the Clippers trailed by 35.
