After Action Report
In Denver, the Clippers survived the Nuggets 118-117. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Clippers cashed in. The Clippers carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; Nuggets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The Clippers bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Clippers per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.
