Trick seven life-and-death battle. In the first quarter, Harden focused on organization and defense, assisted Zubac and Jones Jr. at the beginning. Faced with the Nuggets' counterattack, Harden continued to connect with his teammates. After the Clippers' first quarter, he led by 5 points 26-21. Harden played for 12 minutes in the first quarter, only made one move, scored 2 points, 3 rebounds and 6 assists, and also scored 2 steals and 1 block.

In the second quarter, the Clippers were overtaken by the Nuggets 18-7 at the beginning. Xiaoka scored 6 points in a row and Harden sent a three-pointer to hit back strongly. However, the Clippers cut off power again in the last stage of the first half, and the Clippers fell behind 11 points 47-58 after the half. In this quarter, Harden made 2 of 5 shots and scored 5 points and 4 assists. During this period, Harden made a long pass and was intercepted by Westbrook, and then became Gordon's background board for dunking.

In the second half, after Kat made a three-pointer in the third quarter, the Clippers were hit a 17-0 super offensive by the Nuggets, instantly falling behind to 25 points. After that, the Clippers were suppressed. Even if Jokic committed 5, the Clippers did not seize the opportunity. After the third quarter, the Clippers were already behind to 27 points. Kat and Harden both played the third quarter, but the score difference between the team behind was too big.

Harden and Kat continued to lead the team in the last quarter, but the Nuggets played a 6-0 offensive. With 10 minutes and 30 seconds left in the game, Tyron Lu replaced Harden and Kat. The two were very disappointed on the bench. Because the game lost the suspense early, the Clippers' double giants no longer appeared, and the Nuggets also withdrew their main players early, and the Clippers G7 finally lost.

The Clippers lost to the Nuggets in a tiebreak, and were eliminated 3-4 in total. Harden played in one round for two consecutive years, so the hope of Harden's first career championship has been shattered again. So far in his career, Harden has reached the playoffs for 16 consecutive years to strive for the championship, but in the end, Harden's team failed to win the championship. Harden has finished his 16th season, but was eliminated in the first round again.
