After Action Report

In Los Angeles, the Nuggets buried the Clippers 134-83. The Nuggets got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Nuggets' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense; the Clippers owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The Nuggets bench chemistry carried them. Clippers' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Never a doubt in this one.

What tipped it

  • Clippers · 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.
