After Action Report
The Nuggets fended off the Clippers 96-90. The better team simply showed up tonight. The Nuggets answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Nuggets' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Clippers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Clippers · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Nuggets · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Nuggets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
