After Action Report
The Nuggets held off the Clippers 112-104. Nuggets' offense had its way with the Clippers. Nuggets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Nuggets owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The Nuggets locker room is humming, and it showed. Nuggets' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.

- Nuggets · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Nuggets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
