As the LA Clippers prepare for Game 7 on the road against the Denver Nuggets, reinforcements arrived. About 45 minutes before tipoff, a swarm of Clippers fans entered Ball Arena for Game 7 seated behind the basket nearest the Nuggets bench.
All this was a surprise organized by owner Steve Ballmer and Halo Sports CEO Gillian Zucker.
Clippers owner Steve Ballmer shocks Nuggets, flies over 120 Clippers fans for Game 7
The LA Clippers flew fans over 120 fans from out from ‘The Swell' part of ‘The Wall' at Intuit Dome for Game 7 tonight in Denver. The decision to run with this came shortly after Game 6, when the Clippers officially forced Game 7 back in Denver.
The team brought all those fans together at Intuit Dome Saturday morning, boarded a bus together to Los Angeles International Airport, took a privately chartered flight to Denver, and took another bus straight to Ball Arena for the 5:30PM local tipoff.
The Clippers purchased round-trip tickets for every fan, tickets for the game, and provided rides to and from Ball Arena for Game 7.

The winner of Game 7 will fly to Oklahoma City to take on the Thunder on Monday night. It's a quick turnaround, but the Clippers are hoping they can send their fans back home happy and with a win to prepare for Games 3 and 4 of the second round.
