Harden hit backup forward Nicolas Batum with a crisp behind-the-back bounce pass. After pump-faking former Clipper Russell Westbrook out of the frame, Batum hit a 3 that ignited a memorable pop. This is Playoff Intuit Dome.

The Clippers played stingy defense and had six players score in double figures, rolling to a 117-83 win over the Denver Nuggets Thursday at the Intuit Dome.

The Clippers hit 18 threes in their first playoff game at the Intuit Dome, beating the Nuggets by more than 30 to take the 2-1 series lead.
