History up for grabs in Nuggets-Jazz Game 7

The Denver Nuggets will be seeking a first in franchise history, while the Utah Jazz are looking to avoid one, when the Northwest Division rivals meet in Game 7 of their NBA first-round playoff series Tuesday night near Orlando.

The Nuggets have ridden a scoring explosion by Jamal Murray to earn consecutive wins and necessitate a win-or-go-home series finale for both teams.

The winner earns the right to tackle the second-seeded Los Angeles Clippers in the Western Conference semifinals.

Playing in the sixth Game 7 in the franchise’s NBA history, the third-seeded Nuggets will be attempting to advance for the first time ever in a best-of-seven in which they fell behind 3-1. Only 11 teams in the NBA’s history have pulled off the series comeback from such a deficit.

Denver played a pair of seven-gamers last year, beating San Antonio in the first round before falling to Portland in the Western Conference
