James Harden and the LA Clippers faced elimination at home against the Denver Nuggets in Game 6 of their first-round series on Thursday night. They won the game 111-105 behind 28 points from Harden and 27 from Kawhi Leonard, forcing a Game 7 on Saturday in Denver.

Harden's girlfriend Paije Speights attended Game 6 in Los Angeles. After the game, she snapped a picture of Harden and posted it on Instagram with a simple message.

How do James Harden and the Clippers stack up against the Nuggets in Game 7?

Four of the six games in the first-round series have been decided by fewer than 10 points. There's no reason to expect anything different as Game 7 looms on Saturday night. The Nuggets are favored to win the game, according to ESPN analytics, but the last time they hosted a Game 7, they lost to the Minnesota Timberwolves 98-90.

While the contributions of Kawhi Leonard and Ivica Zubac are crucial to the Clippers' success in Game 7, James Harden could be the most important part of their offense.

Harden and Leonard are both averaging more than 20 points per contest in the series. Harden is also handling the bulk of the playmaking responsibilities, averaging 8.5 assists per game.

This series has delivered exciting games so far, and Game 7 is likely to be the most intense matchup yet, with the top-seeded Oklahoma City Thunder awaiting the winner.
