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.

What tipped it

  • Nuggets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • 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.
  • Clippers · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
