After Action Report

The Nuggets outlasted the Clippers 117-98. Nuggets' stops on the defensive end set the tone. Clippers' skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends; Clippers' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. Whispers of a Clippers locker-room rift aren't helping. The Clippers rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.

What tipped it

  • Clippers · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
  • Clippers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
