The Nuggets squeaked past the Clippers 100-99. The Nuggets won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. The Nuggets came in with something to prove after a loss; Nuggets' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. Early returns: the Nuggets per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
