Everything is on the line as the Denver Nuggets and Los Angeles Clippers battle in Game 7 of their Western Conference quarterfinal series on Saturday night. A trip to face top-seeded Oklahoma City awaits the victor — while the loser starts their offseason soul-searching. Denver has been in this exact spot before. This marks their fourth Game 7 since the 2019 playoffs — and while they boast a 2-1 record in those contests, their most recent memory stings. Last season, they squandered a 20-point second-half lead and lost at home to Minnesota in the second round. That team features James Harden and Kawhi Leonard — and both delivered vintage performances in Thursday’s Game 6 win. Harden silenced his elimination-game critics

After a narrow and controversial loss, Charlotte FC will try to reset the momentum when they visit the Columbus Crew on Saturday night in a clash between two of the Eastern Conference’s top clubs. Charlotte FC (6-3-1, 19 points) saw its four-match unbeaten streak snapped in a 1-0 defeat to the New England Revolution last weekend. Head coach Dean Smith was left frustrated not just by the missed opportunities, but by the officiating that overshadowed the contest. Smith and midfielder Ashley Westwood were fined for post-match comments about the referees, including claims of a missed offside call on the Revs’ goal.

Fresh off back-to-back wins — including Thursday night’s 4-3 rally over the San Francisco Giants — the Rockies will aim for their first three-game winning streak of the season on Friday night at Oracle Park. Colorado’s win over the Giants marked several significant milestones for the struggling club. It snapped a 13-game road losing streak and ended a 12-game skid at Oracle Park dating back to July 2023. McMahon, who had been mired in a brutal 2-for-59 slump, broke through with a seventh-inning solo homer that started the comeback. Hunter Goodman later delivered the game-winning RBI single in the eighth. Colorado (7-25) has now strung together wins

Toronto FC return to MLS action on Saturday with growing health concerns and still searching for their first home win of the season. The Reds host a surging New England Revolution side that’s riding a three-game winning streak. Captain Jonathan Osorio is unlikely to feature after suffering a dislocated shoulder in Wednesday’s Canadian Championship loss to CF Montreal. While the severity is still unclear, coach Robin Fraser suggested it could be a lingering issue. Federico Bernardeschi is also questionable with an ankle issue, though the team is optimistic about his availability. Toronto (1-5-4, 7 points) has earned points in four of its last five matches (1-1-3) but remains winless at home (0-2-2) this season. New England (4-4-1, 13 points) head
