After Action Report
The Nuggets blew the doors off the Clippers 101-81. Ugly basketball, but the Nuggets did just enough. Nuggets' defenders refused to give up clean looks; the Clippers came in with something to prove after a loss. The Nuggets locker room is humming, and it showed. The Nuggets rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. It was over by halftime.
